Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Access to Community Neurological Rehabilitation Teams: Discussion
Ms Magdalen Rogers:
I spoke just yesterday to representatives of the Irish Neurology Nursing Forum, which was set up last year, and to the clinical lead for neurology services, and they assure me plans are coming on board for third level training for specialist nurses in neurology. That will increase the capacity in the system to recruit, train and put nurses in place in the more than 30 nursing posts that have been approved overall in neurology this year.
