I refer to page 108 of the programme for Government. Lyme disease is the world's fastest growing vector-borne infection. People all over the country, many of whom are radically debilitated and incapacitated as a result, are suffering from it. According to experts, some GPs have a poor level of awareness of the disease and its symptoms, as a result of which the disease is overlooked and misdiagnosed. Many have been left in limbo in terms of its diagnosis and treatment and forced to take on a large debt in order to travel to Germany to receive treatment. Will the Tánaiste release them from that limbo and ensure the proper treatment is provided for them in this country?

I will ask the Minister for Health, Deputy Simon Harris, to revert to the Deputy on that issue. It is a specific question about health services.
