Paediatric diabetes services
Deputy Charlie McConalogue raises the lack of paediatric diabetes services in the north west and asks that the vacant post be filled. The Minister says the Health Minister will respond directly to the Deputy.
On the Government's commitment to provide proper paediatric diabetes services, particularly in the north west, as a result of a vacancy arising in Sligo children availing of diabetic services, especially in relation to pump therapy, are without a service. Will the Minister for Social Protection, Deputy Varadkar, engage with the Minister for Health, Deputy Harris, with a view to having that position filled and to ensure proper diabetic services provision for children in Letterkenny General Hospital?

I will ask the Minister for Health, Deputy Harris, to respond directly to the Deputy on that matter.
