Ms Magdalen Rogers:

We were over the first hurdle in that after a long time of underinvestment in neurological care, we saw significant investment in the community neurorehabilitation teams in the past two successive budgets in acknowledgement of the Minister of State with responsibility for disability there. We saw that funding for 21 specialist nurses at one go and we saw the funding for the four dedicated specialist community neurorehabilitation teams. That was our first hurdle and it was a very significant investment. It is now about getting follow-through on that.

It was a really important milestone that we got that investment. One of the critical issues for us is having that translated into direct services on the ground.
