I propose to take Questions Nos. 597 to 605, inclusive, 611, 622 and 623 together.

Budget 2023 provided funding for a number of initiatives aimed at improving diabetes care, including commencing the development of a National Diabetes Registry and the commencement of a National Paediatric Audit of Type 1 Diabetes.

Any decisions with regard to future funding for Diabetes care in Budget 2024 will be subject to the annual Estimates process and will require Government approval.

As the advertisement, interview and recruitment process for posts related to these projects is an operational matter under the responsibility of the HSE, I have asked the HSE to respond to the Deputies directly in relation to the status of these recruitments and expenditure to date, as soon as possible.
