Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Cardiovascular Health, Stroke and Heart Attack: Discussion

Mr. Chris Macey:

I do not have a breakdown of what they are. All I know is that it is a mix of all of the expertise that goes into delivering stroke unit care. It is consultants, nurses, physios, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists and so on. In all of those areas, when looking at minimum international standards for a stroke unit, we are operating below the minimum standards in quite a lot of cases in many hospitals.
