Mary Wallace
Ceist:94 Miss M. Wallace asked the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to the fact that at least 10 per cent of the population suffers from migraine, that the cost to the economy of working days lost through absence from work due to migraine is high and that the Irish population of 375,000 migraine sufferers lose approximately 1,500,000 working days each year; if his attention has further been drawn to the fact that the Irish Migraine Association is an entirely voluntary support group which was formed a few years ago and now has over 1,000 members all over Ireland; if he will support the progress of the Irish Migraine Association in respect of the establishment of the first migraine clinic in Ireland as part of an existing pain management clinic attached to a major hospital; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
