View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 199 to 203, inclusive, together.
The Deputy may wish to be aware that the HSE can confirm that no issues about the future of NLN in CHO 1 have been discussed or brought to their attention. Recent meetings have all focused on new developments and the continuation of existing levels of service. The CHO area are currently finalising 2024 Service Arrangement schedules and plan for ongoing service delivery through NLN.
NLN is funded to provide Rehabilitative Training programmes in all CHOs. The utilisation of RT places has reduced in recent years and the outcomes have changed. This has led to the independent RT review that is currently underway. All stakeholders are currently being consulted with including NLN and RehabGroup. The review will be completed in quarter one 2024.
