I propose to take Questions Nos. 696 and 721 together.

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

Progress on this project was delayed following the recruitment pause within the HSE initiated on 29th May 2023.

As the recruitment process for posts related to this project 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 this project, as soon as possible.
