Peter Burke (FG), Longford-Westmeath

I thank Deputy Burke for his contribution and for raising awareness on behalf MS sufferers. He outlined the key metrics for GP attendances, emergency department attendances, hospital overnight stays and the number of people who suffer from MS. It should be a priority of the Government to support them in any way we can.
As I said, this business case can be considered as part of the Estimates process. I will raise the important metrics the Deputy mentioned with the Minister for Health and ask him to revert directly to the Deputy regarding this case. There is huge value in what the Deputy said. He has made an important contribution.
