670. To ask the Minister for Health the current proposals to add inpatient neurorehabilitation beds to serve the Cork and Kerry (HSE South West) region; if she will confirm whether funding will be provided in Budget 2026 to progress the development of a dedicated 20 inpatient neurorehabilitation beds as called for in the Neurological Alliance of Ireland's pre-budget submission; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The Deputy will be aware that there are many services that the HSE needs to support each year from within its Oireachtas approved Budget. Please note that the level of funding available to each Government Department is being considered as part of the national estimates and budgetary process for 2026, which is currently underway.

Pending completion of this process, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to comment further on any proposals at this stage.
