A Lymphoedema/Lipoedema Working Group was established by the HSE with the aim of developing a national integrated model of care for the prevention, assessment and treatment of lymphoedema/lipoedema in accordance with evidence-based practice.  

I am advised that the Working Group has completed its report, outlining a Model of Care for Lymphoedema and Lipoedema. The report is expected to be considered by HSE Leadership soon.  Following this, the recommendations arising from the report will be considered by my Department.
