Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Acquired Brain Injuries: Discussion

10:20 am

Dr. Sarah O'Doherty:

A document was produced by the National Rehabilitation Hospital in 2009 as part of the submission to the national neurological rehabilitation strategy. It was suggested then that 20 beds would meet the needs. The new National Rehabilitation Hospital is to start construction next April and there is provision for 12 inpatient beds within that hospital. I suppose we will be obliged to consider increasing staffing levels.
