3631. Deputy Michael Cahill asked the Minister for Health the clinical and gender-equality justification for current HSE guidelines that restrict routine serum ferritin and iron panel testing on standard general practice blood draws; if she is aware that relying solely on full blood counts (FBC) systematically underdiagnoses iron deficiency without anaemia (IDWA) in menstruating and perimenopausal women (details supplied); if she will direct the HSE to reinstate automated or age/gender-stratified ferritin screening for women aged 12 to 55 to close this diagnostic gap in women's healthcare; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
