Will the Acting Leader please write to the Minister for Health and ask her to come to the Chamber so that we can have a debate on all matters of healthcare? I am particularly interested in receiving an update on the development of the new hospital site at Raheen. It was announced a number of months ago that we had purchased the site but I am eager to know what further progress has been made. As the Acting Leader knows, we have a chronic need for expanded healthcare facilities in Limerick and the wider mid-west, with over 440,000 people relying on just one emergency department, so I would like an update from the Minister on the expansion of that particular site. Will she also update us on whether she has yet decided on a location for option C in the HIQA report, which is for a new model 4 hospital, complete with an accident and emergency department, for the mid-west region?

I would also like to know about dentistry services for the mid-west.

There is a chronic shortage of dentists in the mid-west. I have been contacted by parents whose children are leaving sixth class in primary school without ever having been called for a dental appointment. There has been a shocking decline in services. On the basis of recent reports, I understand that the mid-west is once again an outlier and has the lowest level of services in this regard.

I would like the Minister to give us an update on functional neurological disorder, FND. We had very interesting and informative session in the audiovisual room last Thursday with the FND Ireland group, which told us that FND is the second most common reason for someone to present to a neurologist in this country. Yet, there is no clear treatment pathway and only one centre, which was hard fought for. We require centres for FND treatment around the country.
