The claim was made by the Neurological Alliance of Ireland during a specially arranged Oireachtas health committee meeting last night.
Speaking to the cross- party body, Magdalen Rogers, the group’s development manager, said vital neurological services across the country are failing to meet basic standards of care.
Ms Rogers said that, despite a 2011 Government review, Ireland has just one neuro-rehabilitation team, in the Mid-West; next to no multi-disciplinary support; and a dwindling community care service that is forcing patients onto lengthy hospital waiting lists or to seek expensive help privately.
