2. To ask the Minister for Health while acknowledging the findings of the European Medical Agency in regard to the Gardasil vaccine, if he will acknowledge that there are many young women who are extremely ill and suffering from symptoms such as complex regional pain syndrome and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome but who are not eligible for any State support; if he is aware that some symptoms are so severe that some of these young women have had to drop out of school and their parents are faced with no other option but to quit work and become carers for their children; if he will ensure that these parents and young women alike are supported and made eligible for benefits such as disability allowance, carer's allowance, medical cards and so on; if he will ensure that the appropriate support services are set up for these girls and their families; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
