I am advised by the Saolta University Health Care Group that staff have been recruited in line with the funding allocation for the development of a Stroke Unit at Letterkenny University Hospital.

The designation of a the Stroke Unit is being impacted by COVID-19 requirements. It is hoped that designation will occur later in the year as COVID-19 measures at the hospital evolve.
