Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

HSE National Service Plan 2023: Discussion

Dr. Colm Henry:

Yes. In short, there is a deficit of inpatient neurorehabilitation facilities. That is why we are completing the survey of existing facilities to inform our estimates for this coming year. Cork University Hospital, CUH, is one of the two major trauma centres in the country. A significant part of our national trauma strategy is of course to improve the rehabilitation experience of patients undergoing major trauma. There is an alignment with our major trauma strategy and our stroke strategy, which we published last year.
