The neurorehabilitation strategy implementation framework was launched in February 2019. The overarching aim of the strategy is the development of neurorehabilitation services to improve patient outcomes by providing safe, high-quality, person-centred neurorehabilitation. People in Wexford who are living with stroke injury, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, Huntington's disease, epilepsy and many other neurological conditions are living with wholly inadequate services in their areas. They have a basic right to those services. Their call for a neurorehabilitation team for community healthcare organisation 5, CHO 5, is supported by 22 neurological charities. The establishment of such a team in CHO 5 will support hundreds and thousands of people to live independently. I implore the Government to set up such a team.
