I wish to advise the Deputy that spina bifida is one of the conditions which is covered under the Long Term Illness Scheme. Under the scheme, patients receive drugs, medicines, and medical and surgical appliances directly related to the treatment of their illness, free of charge.
In relation to other supports and services which are available to persons with spina bifida and their families in a particular area, I have arranged for the HSE to reply to you directly on these matters.
