MMR Vaccination
Mr Jim Shannon asked
the Minister of Health, Social Services and Public Safety what is the cost of
providing health cover for those children who have had a reaction to the MMR
vaccination.
(AQW 309/01)
Ms de Brún: I refer the member to my reply to
AQW 288/01. Information on the costs of treating children suspected to have
experienced an adverse reaction to MMR vaccine is not available.
Luaim don Bhall an freagra a thug mé ar AQW 288/01.
Níl eolas ar chostais chóireáil pháistí,
measta frithghníomh dochrach a bheith acu don vacsaín MMR, ar
fáil.
Acute Services at Mid-Ulster Hospital
Mr Billy Armstrong asked
the Minister of Health, Social Services and Public Safety to make a statement
regarding the delivery of acute services at the Mid-Ulster Hospital.
(AQW 331/01)
Ms de Brún: Following publication of the Acute
Hospitals Review Group Report in June, I issued the Report for a period of public
consultation, which will end on 31 October. Following consideration of
the outcome of the public consultation process and discussion with Executive
colleagues, proposals on the way forward can be put out for consultation. I
hope to be in a position to announce decisions in the course of 2002.
Nuair a foilsíodh tuairisc an ghrúpa athbhreithnithe
ar ghéarospidéil i mí an Mheithimh, d'eisigh mé
an tuairisc le haghaidh tréimhse chomhairliúcháin phoiblí
a chríochnóidh ar 31 Deireadh Fómhair. I ndiaidh toradh
an phróisis chomhairliúcháin a mheas agus caibidil a dhéanamh
le Comhghleacaithe an Choiste Feidhmiúcháin, is féidir
moltaí ar an bhealach chun tosaigh a chur faoi chomhairliúchán.
Tá súil agam bheith i riocht cinntí a fhógairt i
rith 2002.
Provision of Meals : Breast-Feeding Mothers
Mr Jim Wilson asked
the Minister of Health, Social Services and Public Safety to detail what arrangement
are in place for the provision of meals for breast-feeding mothers who must
remain with their baby on paediatric and neo-natal wards.
(AQW 333/01)
Ms de Brún: I am advised that provision of meals
for breast-feeding mothers who remain with their babies on paediatric and neonatal
wards varies from Trust to Trust.
The practice of providing meals can be influenced by the catering
contract arrangements in hospitals. I understand that some hospitals provide
meals through the in-patient catering service, while others, if they are unable
to do this because of catering contract arrangements, provide parents with a
voucher, which allows them to purchase a meal in the public dining room at a
reduced rate.
I am informed that all Trusts that have paediatric and neo-natal
wards have dining facilities and a room in which the parent may rest. They are
also provided with refreshments, such as tea, coffee, water and breakfast at
ward level.
Cuireadh in iúl dom go n-athraíonn soláthar
béilí do mháithreacha a thugann an chíoch dá
leanaí agus a fhanann lena leanaí i mbardaí péidiatraiceacha
agus nua-naíocha ó Iontaobhas go hIontaobhas.
Is féidir le socruithe conartha lónadóireachta
in otharlanna tionchar a bheith acu ar sholáthar béilí.
Tuigim go soláthraíonn roinnt otharlann béilí tríd
an tseirbhís lónadóireachta othair chónaithigh agus
tugann roinnt eile nach bhfuil ábalta é seo a dhéanamh
mar gheall ar shocruithe conartha lónadóireachta, tugann siad
dearbháin do thuismitheoirí, a ligeann dóibh béile
a cheannach ar lacáiste sa seomra bia.
Cuireadh in iúl dom go bhfuil áiseanna bia agus
seomra inar féidir le tuismitheoirí a scíth a dhéanamh
ag na hIontaobhais uile a bhfuil bardaí péidiatraiceacha agus
nua-naíocha acu. Tá sólaistí amhail tae, caife,
uisce agus bricfeasta ag leibhéal barda ar fáil iontu fosta.
