I have an issue to raise on health information. During the Christmas break I discovered that many could not properly read the instructions on medicines and could not read health information. What is the HSE's national service plan for 2011 on health information? There are volunteers who provide courses on literacy and numeracy through the VECs. We should have a module in civic education in schools on health education to help those parents who may be not good at reading or writing.
