James Reilly (Dublin North, Fine Gael)

I thank the Minister for making arrangements before Christmas for some patients to be transferred from the National Rehabilitation Hospital in Dún Laoghaire, thus releasing badly needed beds. There is more capacity in new facilities. Does the Minister of State, Deputy Devins, not accept that the outcome for victims of stroke is far superior from dedicated stroke units than from some type of rehabilitation?
