Summary

Miss Flaherty asked when an illness was last added to the prescribed list, and the Minister promised to respond. Dr. McCarthy renewed his request to include bronchial asthma.

Can the Minister say when was the last occasion on which there was an addition to the prescribed list and, if so, what was the illness involved?

I will communicate with the Deputy on the matter. There is a large number of illnesses covered.

Because of the prevalence of bronchial asthma, I am asking the Minister to have it included.
