Text

Thank you, Minister. I have been working with a young girl who has anaphylaxis. She is allergic to milk, dairy, eggs and nuts, which is a lot, and has really struggled with the inclusion service. Given what parents with children who have food allergies have to go through and the stress that it entails, the Food Allergies NI group has asked whether you would be willing to meet it to discuss what more can be done in schools and, in conjunction with the Health Minister, as regards a public health awareness campaign. Would you be willing to do that?
