My apologies for not being present for the presentations, but I had to attend in the Seanad for votes. However, the delegates have given good responses to the questions put to them thus far.

I would like to follow on from an issue highlighted by Deputy Billy Kelleher. There appears to be a huge difference of opinion on the diagnoses people are receiving from laboratories in Germany and Belgium and those being offered here. Has this issue been discussed at international conferences and, if so, in terms of the line being taken on this issue in Germany and Belgium and what the delegates have told us today, what has been the general outcome? It has been stated there is no laboratory support for diagnoses. I presume this matter has been discussed at international conferences. I would welcome some feedback in that regard.
