36 Mr. McGahon asked the Minister for Health if he will make a statement on the future of the National Virus Reference Laboratory at University College Dublin.
A working group consisting of representatives of agencies who use the services of the virus reference laboratory, Comhairle na nOspidéal and officials of my Department is currently reviewing the range and level of service provided by the laboratory. Pending completion of this review it would not be appropriate to make any statements about the future of the virus reference laboratory.
