Anne Rabbitte (Galway East, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I would have liked the Minister to address the issue of paediatric diabetics in Galway University Hospital in his commentary. Perhaps he can come at it again. This is an ongoing issue. Patients have to go to Limerick or Dublin for some services. It is an ongoing outpatient issue. Perhaps it is due to hospital appointments or something like that - I do not know - but this issue, which affects children, is often raised in my office. I welcome the fact that progress is being made in the area of ENT services. Issues with the ears, nose and throat can affect everyone from the very young to older adults. Everything the Minister has said today is welcome, but action on delivery is what we are really looking for. The results will only be known when the figures come to hand.
