Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Services for those Living with a Neurological Condition: Discussion

Ms Magdalen Rogers:

The promotion of awareness of neurological conditions through national campaigns is under-resourced. It is an under-recognised strength of individual charities, like MS Ireland and others, that they take on and do this work. They fund-raise because no one else is doing so. It is a huge responsibility on not-for-profit organisations to take on this education and awareness role.
