A new report published by the Neurological Alliance of Ireland (NAI) finds evidence of significant gaps in neurology services ten years on from the publication of the 2016 National Model of Care for Neurology Services.
Based on nationwide surveys, focus groups and interviews, the report Towards an Equitable Integrated Neurology Service for Ireland highlights critical gaps in service provision and calls for policy action and investment to tackle regional inequity, gaps in multidisciplinary care and staffing deficits across neurology services.
The report recommendations focus on the need to provide access to neurology services across the hospital network, address critical staffing shortages across neurology services and invest in neurorehabilitation and long term specialist supports in the community for people with neurological conditions in partnership with voluntary providers.
