Ms Magdalen Rogers:

For a population of our size, 230 beds are needed. We have half that number. The majority of those beds, with a few exceptions, are concentrated in the National Rehabilitation Hospital in Dún Laoghaire.

Under the three-year implementation plan and the national neuro-rehabilitation strategy, there was a commitment to have units of up to 20 inpatients and more than 20 inpatients throughout the country. This has not happened, however.
