Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

It is a great advance in medical science that babies and young children are able to live a normal life once the tracheotomy has taken place. People are trained when the children are at a very young age to clear the blockages in the system. The issue raised by the Deputy does not require legislation. I expect the matter to be referred to in the health service plan, which the Minister for Health should have in the next ten days or two weeks. It is clear there is an element of funding and I admire how training has been put in for parents in respect of children. Those are very sensitive in personal cases obviously.
