Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy for raising this serious issue. I assure him that nobody wants anyone to lose their sight. There is no political division on that; everybody wants people to keep their sight and to be able to access cataract treatment. I am inquiring about this matter, which raised with me in the Dáil last week. I have asked for an update on it. I expect to have that very shortly. I will get the Deputy an update on it this week.
