Medical Aids and Appliances
Dail Éireann — 2021-11-25
============================================================

Emer Higgins (FG), Dublin Mid-West

I would like to ask the Minister about her Department's plans to introduce support for people who experience hair loss due to alopecia, illness or cancer treatment. Hair loss can be an extremely traumatic side-effect of illness or treatment and I would welcome any move to support those suffering from hair loss as a result of illness.
