212 Mr. Boylan asked the Minister for Health and Children if his attention has been drawn to the fact that neither VHI or BUPA cover subscribers for expenses incurred in attending a psychologist; if he will provide cover in this regard in view of his forthcoming White Paper on Health Insurance; his views on whether psychological intervention plays a valuable contribution to a person's health; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
