Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Services for those Living with a Neurological Condition: Discussion (8 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: If it were based on the EU figures, it should be 89.6. Essentially we have a real problem with a shortage of neurologists and the waiting lists are completely unacceptable.

Will new neurology posts be created? Was Ms...
