At the request of the Department of Health and Children, a committee was established by the former Comhairle na nOspidéal, currently the national hospitals office/Comhairle, to review the existing arrangements for the provision of neurosurgical services and consultant staffing nationally and, following consultation with the interests concerned, to make recommendations on the future organisation and development of neurosurgical services. My Department has been informed that this committee is in the process of completing its report.
