In the north west, the diabetic services in Sligo University Hospital are housed in a small portakabin. I met people there a couple of weeks ago. Proposals to build a new facility for them are in place. These patients are mainly people with type 1 diabetes and they urgently need this to be put in place as quickly as possible. The services there are totally inadequate. They are meeting in a space which one would not believe could cater to an entire region covering Sligo, Leitrim, west Cavan and south Donegal. I urge the Taoiseach to ensure this facility is put in place as quickly as possible.
