Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Long-term Planning in the Health Services: Discussion

2:00 am

Dr. Colm Henry:

On standards, and to bring balance to the Deputy's comments, it should be noted that there are some significant improvements, including the swallowing assessment going up from 68% to 81%. That is an important and basic standard of stroke units. A total of 24 hospitals now have established stroke units. We provide 24-7 thrombolysis in those hospitals.
