I propose to take Questions Nos. 1485, 1759 and 1760 together.
As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.

Thank you David and Michael for Asking PQ's on our Behalf...
I am not sure if this is a Service Matter.Minister.! If it was ,the HSE would have sorted it decades ago....
25 years ago I went abroad for testing,because Accurate testing was not available here, and nothing much has changed in all those years...
We need education for all our G.P's,to help with this situation.
