This issue has already been raised several times. However, it is important. Next week is national brain awareness week. There are 800,000 people in Ireland who have neurological issues. I welcome Tony Wilkinson and his wife, who are in the Gallery. Mr. Wilkinson has done Trojan work for the people of this country in the context of Parkinson’s disease. In the implementation framework relating to the national neurorehabilitation strategy for the period 2019 to 2021, a dedicated neurorehabilitation team was recommended to support patients with stroke acquired brain injury and Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and other neurological conditions. As yet, this team has not been put in place. There is a related issue in that there have been supply issues in respect of the drug Rivotril in the past year. This has caused great anxiety, especially among patients with neurological disorders. Is the Tánaiste in a position to assure me that there will be a constant supply of Rivotril for all patients? When will the community neurorehabilitation team be put in place to support these patients?

If the Deputy sends me a note on the specific medication, I will get him a detailed response from the Health Products Regulatory Authority.

With regard to the neurorehabilitation teams, there will be nine of them throughout the country, one of which will be located in CUH. I will revert to the House with an expected timeline for hiring. The HSE is engaged in a process of hiring those neurorehabilitation nurses and creating an integrated care pathway for people in Cork.
