The funding was secured in this year's budget. The mapping has been done and it was launched earlier this week. Brian Higgins, as part of the HSE, is working closely on the roll-out of that in the two CHOs, but also on addressing the two other CHOs that were not stepped up in 2018-19. The HSE is engaging with the various organisations, whether it is AIMS Ireland, the Parkinson's Association of Ireland or the Huntington's Disease Association of Ireland, to start advertising and finding a correct location so we can have community neurorehabilitation teams. It is a part of an expansion of the strategy. We have a neurorehabilitation strategy, but there are other pieces within it. One of the main pieces has to be what happens when a person is discharged, be it from acute or the National Rehabilitation Hospital, so he or she can supported in his or her community.
