152. To ask the Minister for Health further to Parliamentary Question No. 80 of 30 September 2014, in addition to the measures that he will be undertaking, if he will initiate an immediate awareness campaign among local autism groups, schools, general practitioners, and online, warning people of the dangers of MMS and CD, as there are citizens taking or being given this poison in the belief that it is a cure.

I have no plans to undertake an awareness campaign.

The Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA) advises consumers not to take Master Minister Solution (MMS) or CD. The Food Safety Authority and the National Poisons Information Centre of Ireland have also issued a public safety warning regarding the use of MMS.

The HPRA has confirmed that it is actively following up on this issue as a matter of urgency. Consumers experiencing side effects thought to be associated with MMS are advised to consult a health care professional.
