What we are doing from this strategy is the community-based aspect. The big call from people after they go through a trauma like that and get their intensive neurorehabilitation in the likes of the NRH is that they would have community-based access. I am open to that as regards the needs there. The strategy looks at regional step-down beds. It is important that people can get access to the care in their local community where they do not have to be always travelling to Dún Laoghaire for their intensive service provision.
