We have a national rare diseases strategy and a rare diseases office has been established to implement that strategy. I am not able to provide detailed information on those two particular conditions, so I will ask the Minister for Health, Deputy Harris, to reply in more detail, perhaps by correspondence. I should say that it is not the HSE's role to recognise or de-recognise illnesses. That is done by the ICD-10 and the DSM.
