Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Neurology and Neurorehabilitation Healthcare Strategies: Discussion
Ms Magdalen Rogers:
The most common neurological condition is migraine. This affects more than 300,000 people throughout Ireland. In levels of commonality there are conditions like multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's. My colleagues can speak about numbers relating to those. We have the range of strokes, acquired brain injury, dementia and, very importantly, the rare neurological conditions such as Huntington's and motor neurone disease that would have smaller numbers but are extremely disabling conditions.
