Ceist:

353. Deputy Eoghan Kenny asked the Minister for Health if her attention has been drawn to the barriers currently faced by patients in Ireland living with lipoedema, including the absence of a published national HSE care pathway, limited access to conservative management such as compression therapy and manual lymphatic drainage, and delays or difficulties accessing treatment through the Cross Border Healthcare Directive; the steps her Department and the HSE are taking to address these issues; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 353 and 354 together.

As the matter(s) raised is a service delivery matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly as soon as possible.
