I wish to raise the issue of the national advocacy service, NAS, that will go out to a strike next Monday with a protest planned outside the Dáil on Tuesday. The crux of the matter lies with the employers, the Citizens Information Board but ultimately with the Department of Social Protection, which funds the CIB. The staff at the NAS have not received a pay rise for over 14 years. The Labour Court has heard the case and has brought forward recommendations. While they were accepted by email from the CIB, they are now being reneged upon by both the CIB and the Department of Social Protection. As the national advocacy service represents the rights of our most vulnerable and disabled citizens in society, I appeal to the Tánaiste to talk to the Department to find a quick solution and to accept the Labour Court's recommendation before it becomes too late.

I will address the first two questions if I can. I thank Deputy Wynne for raising the issue. The service required for people with eating disorders is something we take very seriously. We have increased the number of specialist eating disorder teams. My numbers may be slightly incorrect but these have gone from two to 11. We are, of course, seeking national coverage. Where there are areas where it is more difficult, it is something the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, and I are working on. We take this very seriously. I thank the Deputy for raising it.

I acknowledge Deputy Tully's ongoing work on the issue of the insulin pump therapy. There has been regular back and forth between me, the Department and the Deputy on this. If the Deputy would send me a short note on this, I will bring it back to the Department and the HSE and we can continue the path we have been on to secure these services.

With regard to the NAS industrial action, efforts have been ongoing right throughout June on this. I am happy to say that, following continued discussion between all parties through the day, I understand that SIPTU has confirmed the strike committee has suspended industrial action - this may be an older note, however - to take part in a facilitated engagement. My understanding as of this morning, but I will double-check that, is there was a process back under way to try to avert a strike.
