Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Impact of Covid-19 on Neurological Services, Care and Capacity: Neurological Alliance of Ireland (30 Mar 2022)

David Cullinane: Our witnesses are very welcome. I thank them for their presentation. My first question is more an observation with a question in it. It relates to waiting lists and the waiting list numbers for neurology. Often the focus is on the global number of 900,000 people on some form of acute hospital waiting list. I understand 630,000 are on an outpatient waiting list with 160,000 people waiting...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Impact of Covid-19 on Neurological Services, Care and Capacity: Neurological Alliance of Ireland (30 Mar 2022)

David Cullinane: I refer to the alliance's recommendations. We all accept that the waiting times are too long and that we need more capacity.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Impact of Covid-19 on Neurological Services, Care and Capacity: Neurological Alliance of Ireland (30 Mar 2022)

David Cullinane: With regard to the specialist nurses and the advanced nurse practitioners, one of the issues that has been highlighted is the very high wait times for acute hospital. However, many of the services are provided in the community, where they should be provided. When we talk about specialist nurses, is that a mix of nurses who would be in acute hospitals and in the community?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Impact of Covid-19 on Neurological Services, Care and Capacity: Neurological Alliance of Ireland (30 Mar 2022)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Impact of Covid-19 on Neurological Services, Care and Capacity: Neurological Alliance of Ireland (30 Mar 2022)

David Cullinane: Obviously, we need as many neuro-rehabilitation teams as possible. Only a small number of additional teams have been funded in recent years so we definitely need more. In what areas are there shortages? First, are the teams that are up and running fully staffed?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Impact of Covid-19 on Neurological Services, Care and Capacity: Neurological Alliance of Ireland (30 Mar 2022)

David Cullinane: I have a related question on neuro-rehabilitation beds. Are they primarily in acute hospitals or are they also provided by some of the voluntary organisations? I imagine that some of those beds are in the community as well. Is there a capacity issue in terms of neuro-rehabilitation beds as well as staff?
