Ms Magdalen Rogers:

The map is stark, but it is realistic. It indicates where the teams are and where they are not. We need greater urgency on this. We have reiterated that neurorehabilitation is in crisis. We have people who missed out on neurorehabilitation during the Covid pandemic. Sufferers of long Covid need neurorehabilitation. We need the timely establishment of these teams nationwide. We need to learn from areas where teams are up and running and apply that to the other CHO areas. There needs to be urgency on this. One of the committee members highlighted a timeframe of 2026 for the establishment of all the teams, which we had not heard. That seems very long given the lack of progress during the 2019 to 2023 implementation framework relating to the neurorehabilitation strategy. Urgency is key at this stage.
