Questions (1706)

Carol Nolan

Question:

1706. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Health if he will clarify the policy position of his Department concerning fetal alcohol spectrum disorder which is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disability that can result from alcohol-exposed pregnancies; the reason that Ireland remains the only country in the developed world that doesn’t recognise FASD and does not have a pathway to diagnosis or the provisions of support to persons living with FASD; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42737/22]

Written answers

All matters relating to the provision of services for the treatment of foetal alcohol syndrome fall within the responsibility of the Health Service Executive and as such, I have referred this question to the Health Service Executive for attention and direct reply.
