Ms Magdalen Rogers:

We have made many requests of the committee today but I have another one, which is that the committee holds a specific hearing on the very issue of the neuro-rehabilitation strategy. The lid needs to be lifted on the complexities involved in all of the false dawns and false starts in its implementation. We need to get a greater understanding of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on neuro-rehabilitation services. It is without the effective structure of ongoing meetings. We have situations where the group has not met and meetings have not been held. I encourage the committee to hold to account the HSE and the Minister responsible for the implementation of the strategy.
