Anne Rabbitte (FF), Galway East

I have put funding in place to ensure the HSE is able to recruit to that steering committee, and put staff and a pathway in place to start engaging with people who are inappropriately accommodated. To date, it has engaged with 412 individuals. As recently as last Thursday I was in County Longford, where I met three individuals who have moved into their own home, thank God. Three is so few in the overall context but 417 people are being engaged with as we speak.
On the neuro teams, I sought funding in the budget last year for CHO 2 and CHO 4 to stand up properly clinically governed teams so that we could have proper neuro teams. That is part of the development of the next phase in the neuro strategy of going right out into the communities.
