Mary Butler (FF), Waterford

I have heard the Deputy raise the question previously. I will be honest with him; I am not over the detail of this but if he wants to share his constituent's concerns with me, I will make sure he gets an answer from the Minister, Deputy Donnelly's, office.
I am aware there are certain areas in the country where insulin pumps are not as available as they are in others. It is a bit of a post code lottery. I will certainly raise the issue of funding for this with the Minister. When a person is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, it is a huge issue that he or she must live with for the rest of his or her life and the insulin pump does make life a whole lot easier.
