Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 30 May 2017
498. Deputy Gino Kenny asked the Minister for Health if he will recommend the improvement of education, knowledge and experience in medical training institutions of myalgic encephalomyelitis which is recognised by the World Health Organization as a neurological disease classification G93.3; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25919/17]
View answerThis is not a matter for the Minister for Health as medical training on the diagnosis and management of diseases is provided at undergraduate level by the medical schools which are approved by the Medical Council and which has developed guidelines relating to professionalism in the undergraduate curriculum. Postgraduate medical training is provided by a range of Postgraduate training bodies which must meet Medical Council postgraduate accreditation standards.
