Deputy Barry Heneghan asked the Minister for Health if she is aware of concerns regarding access to the specialist functional seizure service in St. James's Hospital; if she will clarify whether the ward is intended to operate as a national referral service or only for patients within the hospital catchment area; the steps being taken to improve access for patients experiencing severe and frequent seizures; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I am assuming the deputy is referring to the Functional Neurology Disorder (FND) clinic in St. James's Hospital and as this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the deputy directly, as soon as possible.
