PQ 228
265 Deputy James Reilly asked the Minister for Health and Children if her attention has been drawn to the fact that the Cost of Stroke in Ireland report published by the Irish Heart Foundation shows that less than €7 million per year is currently spent on community rehabilitation for stroke patients, equivalent to the cost of one session of physiotherapy or speech and language therapy per person, despite the fact that this rehabilitation is essential in assisting persons in living independently after a stroke and in maintaining their quality of life; if her further attention has been drawn to the fact that it may not be possible to conduct a cost-benefit analysis of spending on community rehabilitation because data are not currently collected and collated by the health service; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
