150 seriously injured people waiting up to 6 months for rehab service
People injured in road accidents, in falls and through strokes are left in acute hospitals because they cannot access vital services at the Dún Laoghaire-based National Rehabilitation Hospital (NRH), the only facility of its kind in Ireland.
Of the 150 on the list, 16 are children, 56 are suffering from spinal injuries, 32 have acquired brain injuries, 18 suffered a stroke, 12 have such neurological conditions as motor neuron disease and 10 have lost a limb.
