185 Deputy James Bannon asked the Minister for Health the plans being made to deliver full services locally for the approximately 100 children and adolescents in Longford and Westmeath with type 1 diabetes, in view of the fact that many are forced to travel to Dublin to receive intensive treatment and check-ups which are required four to five times a year to limit potential damage in adulthood, as the local paediatric facilities are under resourced; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
