Does the issue of narcolepsy as it relates to the vaccine form part of the new report on damage by vaccines? What is the position on that issue and has funding been provided? The Minister stated supports were being made available in the context of education, the provision of medicines, etc., but I understood a compensation package would also be provided for children who suffered from narcolepsy after taking the vaccine. Is that package to be found under a different subhead or has it not been included?
