Ceisteanna (1706)

Carol Nolan

Ceist:

1706. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Health if he will clarify the policy position of his Department concerning fetal alcohol spectrum disorder which is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disability that can result from alcohol-exposed pregnancies; the reason that Ireland remains the only country in the developed world that doesn’t recognise FASD and does not have a pathway to diagnosis or the provisions of support to persons living with FASD; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

All matters relating to the provision of services for the treatment of foetal alcohol syndrome fall within the responsibility of the Health Service Executive and as such, I have referred this question to the Health Service Executive for attention and direct reply.
