The HSE is currently ascertaining the number of narcolepsy and or cataplexy cases that may be associated with Pandemrix vaccination. All cases will be offered a multidisciplinary assessment by the HSE to identify medical and educational need and appropriate services will be offered. I am aware of the submission of the report which is being considered in the context of other evidence from international studies. I plan to publish the report in due course.
