The Oireachtas Committee on the Future of Healthcare has just produced its second interim report, which includes a summary of the range of issues addressed by the 150 submissions received by the committee in response to their call for submissions. MS Ireland, along with other neurological organisations, contributed to the submission made by the Neurological Alliance of Ireland (NAI).
The NAI welcomes specific mention in this report of key points made in its 2016 submission to the Committee, including the need to implement the models of care for the neurology and rehabilitation medicine programmes and the National Policy and Strategy for the Provision of Neuro-rehabilitation services (2011-2015) as identified on page 11 of the interim report.
The Committee has received an extension until April 2017 to continue their work.
