Eamon McPartlin highlights difficulties people with neurological conditions face in Ireland
Eamon McPartlin, 52, diagnosed with dystonia and functional neurological disorder (FND), must travel to London for treatment unavailable in Ireland. He faces high costs and long waits for a rehabilitation program. The Neurological Alliance of Ireland criticizes the lack of neurorehabilitation services in Ireland, where over 50,000 people are diagnosed with neurological conditions annually. The HSE aims to improve neurorehabilitation services, but many regions lack community neurorehabilitation teams.
