Dr. Colin Doherty:

It is important to point out that there are two sets of nurses here. There are the nurses to run the epilepsy unit, which is very important for this small group of highly complex epilepsy patients. However, the majority of the patients are those we must manage in the community. Two nurses who have been interviewed and are appointable will work in this advanced nurse practitioner capacity, which is needed to supplement the work of Daniel Costello, who is the consultant neurologist running the epilepsy services there. They will support the 80% of patients and maintain them in the community. I do not want the Cork unit to open and for that to be final word.
