Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Impact of Covid-19 on Neurological Services, Care and Capacity: Neurological Alliance of Ireland

Ms Magdalen Rogers:

With regard to the neuro-rehabilitation strategy, we have not even got there yet. We have not even seen an attempt to recruit those multidisciplinary teams. As I explained earlier, there was a commitment in that three-year neuro-rehabilitation framework to have one community neuro-rehabilitation team in each CHO.

That has not been progressed. As I said, the funding was made available for teams in CHOs 6 and 7, so the Deputy's own constituency is involved, but despite that those teams have not been put in place. It is not even a recruitment issue; it is a momentum issue. The posts have not even been advertised at this stage.
