516. To ask the Minister for Health if consideration will be given to a review of the way that Huntington’s disease is included in national strategies in view of the disease being a condition with multiple dimensions which does not sit neatly within one strategy whereby building links across strategic frameworks could help to improve the way services are delivered; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

517. To ask the Minister for Health if consideration will be given to the development of a new work stream within the current National Clinical Programme for Neurology to establish the details of a model of care for Huntington’s disease affected families in Ireland that would fit within the Sláintecare Implementation Strategy and Action Plan; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The establishment of a new work stream within pre-existing HSE programmes is a matter for the HSE and as such I have referred this question to the HSE for direct reply to the deputy.
