----- around this area. From Dr. McMonagle's perspective, how does she think we can go forward on the issue of foetal alcohol syndrome and alcohol related brain injuries?
There was a World Health Organisation report on Neurological Disorders: Public Health Challenges. This extensive report described and discussed the increasing global public health importance of common neurological disorders such as dementia and epilepsy. It dedicated a whole section to the neurological disorders, associated with malnutrition and the ingestion of toxic compounds, such as alcohol. What efforts are being taken in the Irish neurology services to address these two neurological conditions, particularly around alcohol-related brain injury and foetal alcohol spectrum disorders?
I am sorry for rushing but I have many more questions.
