Yes, I agree. In the southern part of Ireland there is no dedicated specialist medical rehabilitation service for people with neurological conditions. Unfortunately, most matters in life are Dublin-centred, but in the case of something as important as this, it is disappointing that there is nothing available in the south of the country. What is needed in the south of the country? I had expected a representative of the HSE to attend, whom I had intended to ask what it was going to do about it. Perhaps our guests could answer the question in a few sentences. If they had a magic wand, what would they provide that is required in the south of the country?
