Health Strategies
Dail Éireann — 2023-11-09
============================================================

David Cullinane (SF), Waterford

Last year, the HSE published the national stroke strategy from 2022 to 2027, which I fully supported. It received €4.9 million in funding for 2023. I understand that approximately €1 million worth of posts are unfilled and there are concerns over their funding. For 2024, the national stroke programme requires millions of euro for 75 essential additional posts to safely staff our stroke units. In the budget just gone, how much additional core expenditure was provided to fund the national stroke strategy?
