I propose to take Questions Nos. 422 to 424, inclusive, together.

The HSE Social Care Division and the National Clinical Programme for Rehabilitation Medicine are working in tandem to progress the implementation of the National Policy and Strategy for the provision of Neuro-Rehabilitation Service in Ireland which includes the provision of services to stroke patients along with other Neurological conditions.

As the questions raised by the Deputy refer to the detail of the way in which stroke services relate to the Neuro-Rehabilitation Strategy, I have arranged for the Deputy's questions to be referred to the HSE for direct reply.
