As part of its Thinking Ahead campaign, the NAI has developed a 10 point ACTION PLAN for neurological care. The plan outlines the steps that the Government urgently needs to take to address the crisis in our neurological care services by:
-
Committing to protecting and improving neurological care
-
Developing and implementing a comprehensive plan for neurological care in the health services
-
Protecting funding to charities that are central to Ireland’s neurological care services
-
Developing acute neurology services to ensure that people with neurological conditions can be diagnosed and treated as quickly as possible
-
Ensuring that people with sudden onset neurological conditions have access to prompt specialist treatment
-
Access to specialist rehabilitation for people with neurological conditions
-
Co-ordination and development of specialist services in the community to support people with neurological conditions to live as independently as possible
-
Ensuring that people with neurological conditions have an effective care plan and access to a key worker or case manager
-
Provision of effective support for carers of people with neurological conditions
-
Provision of the necessary skilled staffed needed for our neurological care services
