'No beds outside Dublin' for brain injury survivors

Young brain injury survivors are left languishing in nursing homes and hospitals due to an “appalling lack” of rehabilitation services, according to Acquired Brain Injury Ireland (ABII).

The national charity said access to vital rehab services is a “lottery” as there are no specialist rehab beds regionally, contrary to requirements outlined in the 2011 Neuro-Rehabilitation Strategy, reiterated in the 2019 Neuro-Rehabilitation Implementation Framework.
