Amharc ar fhreagra1083. Deputy Gary Gannon asked the Minister for Health what initiatives are being considered to raise awareness and provide information about amyloidosis in Ireland, especially given the challenges faced by patients too advanced in their illness to travel to the UK for a SAP scan; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 1082 and 1083 together.
As the matter raised is a service delivery matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly as soon as possible.
