Does the HSE have the potential to create a register of patients? If a mother or parent suspects that a child has a difficulty relating to taking Epilim in pregnancy, could there be a central location to register the suspicion? Could that then be taken up by the HSE? Could the HSE act as one point of contact? Could people access services depending on what their disability is and whether it is neurodevelopmental or physical? There could be the possibility of a register where a suspicion could be lodged. The HSE could then take it from there instead of people having to go to several different services.
