The National Rehabilitation Board, NRB, was established by the then Minister for Health as per the National Rehabilitation Board (Establishment) Order, 1967, SI 30 of 1967. The NRB was dissolved by the Minister for Health and Children on 12 June 2000 and the total number of posts in the board was 184.
