As Medic Alert is a private company, my Department has no information on the number of people who wear medic alert bracelets. Responsibility for running information and health promotion campaigns now rests with the Health Service Executive. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
