The New Minister for the DHSS talks to The Diabetic

The Diabetic is very grateful to the new Minister for Health and Social Security Mr Eddie Teare, for taking time from his very busy schedule to talk with us, a gesture very much appreciated.
We met at his offices at Markwell House where we asked to do a profile of the Minister so that our readers would know who he was and how he ticked.
