The Taoiseach might advise the House what is the hold-up in approving the G5 transmitter for type 1 diabetes. It is over nine months since the HSE requested a tender and, to date, no decision has been taken. The transmitter allows parents to monitor a child's blood sugar levels without constantly having to prick their fingers with a needle, and it automatically uploads to a mobile phone, which is a great benefit to the parents. I am sure the Taoiseach will agree it is very important for small babies and their parents that the G5 transmitter is approved immediately.
