A Wexford Senator is calling for urgent action on child health.
Senator Cathal Byrne has today highlighted the need for the Minister for Health to introduce a national paediatric screening programme for coeliac disease in children aged 1 to 17.
The proposed programme would aim to catch the condition early and improve outcomes for thousands of Irish children.
Speaking this morning – Senator Byrne says early detection is key, with many cases currently going undiagnosed, leading to long-term health issues.
