The Right Care in the Right Place: NAI 2026 Pre Budget Campaign
Our advocacy campaign in the lead up to this year’s Budget focuses on access to neurology and neurorehabilitation services in line with the commitments within the current Programme for Government.
The latest NAI report Towards an Equitable Integrated Neurology Service for Ireland highlights the need for equitable access to neurology services for early diagnosis and appropriate care.
The NAI Pre Budget Submission will launch on 24thJune calling for:
- Investment in regional neurology services and specialist pathways for early diagnosis in line with the Programme for Government commitment to investment in neurology services
- Investment to complete the rollout of community neurorehabilitation teams in line with the commitment within the current Programme for Government
On Monday, September 9th, the Neurological Alliance of Ireland (NAI) held an online meeting to highlight the needs of local people living with neurological conditions across the South East.

NAI is Calling for the Delivery of a Long Promised Community Neurorehabilitation Team for the South East
The areas of the South East that come under HSE Integrated Healthcare Areas of Waterford/Wexford and Carlow/Kilkenny/South Tipperary remain the only region of the country which has not received funding to date to support the establishment of a local community neurorehabilitation team in line with the nationwide rollout committed to within the current Programme for Government. NAI is advocating to ensure that people with neurological conditions throughout the South East are not at a disadvantage when it comes to access to community neurorehabilitation services that are available across other regions. These teams provide vital specialist neurorehabilitation in the community for up to 12 weeks for people with a wide range of neurological conditions including physiotherapy, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, neuropsychology, dietician and nursing support.
