Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Access to Community Neurological Rehabilitation Teams: Discussion

Ms Magdalen Rogers:

The momentum we have seen within the past year in terms of regular meetings of the national steering group for the implementation of the neurorehabilitation strategy has been very positive. That group is finally meeting regularly, about every two months, at this point. As I said earlier to Deputy Shortall, in the period 2019 to 2021, including before Covid, that group was not meeting regularly, so that is positive. However, I would emphasise that a huge catch-up is needed. The fact that the national strategy, which was published in 2011, has not been implemented cannot be attributed to Covid-19.
