Pearse Doherty

Ceist:

95 Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the level of paediatric diabetes service in County Donegal and the reason there is not a clinical nurse specialist in paediatric diabetes, in view of the fact there currently are more than 130 diagnosed children under 18 years with type 1 diabetes and noting that best practice and Health Service Executive guidelines dictate that there should be one clinical nurse specialist per 100 children diagnosed; her plans to follow best practice in this instance; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
