568. To ask the Minister for Health the specific treatments and supports available for patients with lymphoedema; if he acknowledges that the suite of treatment and supports compare poorly with neighbouring jurisdictions; if he will outline plans to improve awareness amongst medical professionals of this condition and for its treatment and the ongoing support of sufferers; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I have been informed by the HSE that a survey is being carried out on lymphoedema services. Accordingly I have asked the HSE to respond directly to the Deputy on the matter.
