Mary Butler (Waterford, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I could read out the script I have been given but it more or less reiterates what I have already said. I heard the Deputy raising this issue with the Taoiseach two weeks ago and what the latter said in reply. There are 28 children who are in need and, as far as the Deputy is aware, appliances will be provided for ten of them, leaving 18 without. I will take this issue back to the Department of Health and the Minister to see whether we can make some progress on it.
