Health | Number of patients with undiagnosed rare diseases

To ask the Minister for Health the number of patients throughout the country allegedly suffering from a rare disease but whose condition remains undiagnosed; if such patients are deemed to be suffering from a rare disease; if a sufficiently coordinated action plan will be put in place to meet their requirements in early date; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As this question relates to service matters, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the deputy directly, as soon as possible.
