Neurological care in Ireland – wasting away - The Medical Independent

Neurological care in Ireland – wasting away - The Medical Independent

this article is dated 2010 , not sure if there has been any developments but i doubt it.  can the general population not THINK about anything other than cancer!

i feel able to argue this as both a cancer patient and one suffering a neurological disorder.  for my cancer care here in ireland has been par to what i'd get anywhere in the uk, for example.  not so my neurology care!  nor for my twin, also with neurological dificulties.  this service, headed by a wonderful professor is totally shackled by government ineptitude, uninterest, and downright rejection, neglect and inattention to human rights.

it's time we neurology patients 'rolled up' (in our wheelchairs) to demand a better service.

  1. Margaret i agree with you. with so few at the top of the neurological services, little choice and a fear that care will be compromised anyway, this is a frightening field and also for the patient, extreme anxiety provoking. we must get the services up to scratch and cause a ruckus about the state it is in right now...we need more neurologists in this country!
