Question:142 Mr. Barrett asked the Minister for Health and Children if he will consider the provision of extra support services as a matter of urgency in view of the fact the number of people requiring rehabilitation treatment in the National Rehabilitation Hospital, Dún Laoghaire, is increasing dramatically, rehabilitation treatment is required for longer periods and facilities and initiatives to support these people and their families and carers on their return to the community have been scarce in the past; and the plans, if any, for their implementation.
