While there is no dedicated stroke unit at University Hospital Kerry stroke patients can receive treatment within the hospital. As the establishment of a dedicated stroke unit in the hospital is an operational matter I have asked the HSE to respond to you directly. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and my officials will follow the matter up.
