Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Access to Community Neurological Rehabilitation Teams: Discussion

Dr. Susan Coote:

People with multiple sclerosis consistently tell us that access to physiotherapy is their greatest need, followed by access to occupational therapy, vocational rehabilitation, psychology and neuropsychology. These are the services they need to do the things they want to do and live the lives of their choosing. That is where the multidisciplinary teams come in. Access to medications is another issue but it is really about rehabilitation access. People keep coming back to us stating it as their greatest unmet need.
