641. Deputy Tom Fleming asked the Minister for Health if he will open the new epilepsy monitoring unit at Cork University Hospital and the redeveloped unit at Beaumont Hospital, Dublin, as a matter of urgency in view of the fact that they remain unopened despite the completion of the units in the autumn of 2012 at an estimated spend of €900,000; if he will take into consideration that there are currently no functioning EMUs anywhere in the State, a situation unacceptable to those living with epilepsy and that in the region of 260 people are now awaiting monitoring, many to be assessed for potentially life-changing surgery; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
