I propose to take Questions Nos. 300, 304 and 347 together.
Work is under way on the setting up a Centre of Excellence for Narcolepsy based in St. James’s Hospital for patients with all forms of narcolepsy in adults and in children transitioning from the paediatric services. Funding for the infrastructure, staffing and recruitment for this centre is being considered as part of the overall 2018 service plan process.
