Students suffering from narcolepsy face into exams without back-up

Children who developed narcolepsy after receiving the swine flu vaccine are facing exams with no supports in place, it has emerged.

Campaign group Sound (Sufferers of Unique Narcolepsy Disorder), which represents 40 children it believes have been affected, is concerned that their needs are not being taken seriously.

Sound member Máiréad Lawless, whose six-year-old son Alex, developed the disorder after vaccination, said the group would escalate its campaign if no action was taken.
