Ceisteanna (203)

James Bannon

Ceist:

226 Deputy James Bannon asked the Minister for Health and Children the plans being made to deliver full services locally for the approximately 100 children and adolescents in counties Longford and Westmeath with type 1 diabetes, in view of the fact that many are forced to travel to Dublin to receive intensive treatment and check-ups which are required four or five times a year to limit potential damage in adulthood, as the local paediatric facilities are under resourced; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The information sought by the Deputy is not readily available. However, I have asked the Health Service Executive to supply this information to me and I will forward it to the Deputy as soon as possible.
