Ceist:

647. Deputy Shane Cassells asked the Minister for Health if sufferers of agoraphobia can receive funding support from the HSE for private psychiatric counselling as many sufferers require more counselling hours than are provided by the HSE; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22388/16]
