A call has been made for the HSE West to make additional nursing and dietician support available to enable children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes receive insulin pump treatment at University Hospital Galway.
The advocacy group Diabetes Ireland wants the health authority to channel promised resources into this area saying the therapy improves young people?s quality of life.
It says Ireland continues to lag far behind the rest of Europe in its provision of insulin pumps to treat children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. The pledged regional paediatric diabetes posts remain unfilled yet the under-resourced regional hospital is expected to cope
