Some 186,000 Irish people are living with a neurological condition, with 50,000 diagnosed with such a condition annually. In Europe, there is an average of nine to 14 neurologists per 100,000 people. In Ireland, there is an average of just 1.3 neurologists per 100,000. We have a serious problem. The World Health Organization has stated that one in three of us will develop a neurological condition in our lifetimes. Will the Minister of State support a neurological unit at Wexford General Hospital, given that the programme for Government states that people are entitled to the right care at the right time and in the right place?

I thank the Deputy for raising this issue. I will speak to the Minister, Deputy Donnelly, about it. It is important to point out that, under the programme for Government, Ireland now has a neuro strategy and that, for the first time, we have put clinical nurse specialists and community teams in place.

There are no nurses.

Yes, we have. We have funded them completely and there is no recruitment embargo on them.

There are no nurses in Waterford.
