Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 October 2016
105. Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Minister for Health if he will confirm a date for the publication of the implementation plan to include a detailed timeline for the national neuro-rehabilitation strategy; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30496/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Programme for Partnership Government places a particular focus on a number of key programmes and strategies, including publishing a plan for advancing Neuro-rehabilitation services in the community. Currently a National Steering Group, chaired by the Health Service Executive (HSE) Head of Disability Reform, is considering feedback on a draft implementation framework which was circulated for consultation to wider stakeholder interest groups. The revised framework will guide and oversee the reconfiguration and development of Neuro-rehabilitation structures and services at national and local level from a non-acute perspective. Given the lead role of the HSE in this process, I have arranged for the Deputy's question to be referred to the HSE for a direct reply to the Deputy.
