I thank the Minister of State for her response. These delays happened because of Covid-19. The Minister of State talked about different virtual registries. What is the timeline for these? When does the Minister of State think we will see them? Some work was done. We invested in e-health Ireland. As part of our programme for Government and of the budget this year, will there be an allocation specifically for these registries? I mentioned the impact of 28,000 people with type 1. However, a HSE type 2 cycle of care programme was put in place for those with type 2. It estimates 100,000 people were eligible for the 12 months of September 2019. However, this year, only 12,000 have been seen out of that 100,000. The reason we need to be concerned is the related complications such as stroke, kidney disease, eye and foot damage and heart attacks which require hospitalisation. We have invested in e-health Ireland. Does the Minister of State think these registries will be brought forward in the coming six months?
