Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Services for those Living with a Neurological Condition: Discussion

Ms Magdalen Rogers:

To respond to Deputy O'Connell's comment on folic acid, and this goes back to the comment we made in response to Deputy Durkan about the voluntary organisations taking up the mantle on this, I am aware that one of our members, Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus Ireland, has been doing work on promoting the use of folic acid, for obvious reasons. That is one organisation that is stepping up its preventative approach.
