3377. Deputy Sorca Clarke asked the Minister for Health the designated national lead with responsibility and accountability for the development, co-ordination and oversight of paediatric asthma care in Ireland, including responsibility for the development of a national paediatric model of care for asthma. [56076/26]

3378. Deputy Sorca Clarke asked the Minister for Health when a national paediatric model of care for asthma will be published, given that one in five children in Ireland will develop asthma and that there is currently no national paediatric model of care for asthma. [56077/26]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 3377 and 3378 together.

As these are operational matters, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
