The Department of Health is inviting people to attend a series of public events as part of the consultation on the final report of the Regional Review of Neurology services.
When the consultation launched on 7 May, Health Minister Mike Nesbitt said the report’s recommendations provided a roadmap to deliver an ambitious, long-term plan to drive improvements in services. The consultation responses will inform this plan.
To support the consultation exercise, a number of public engagement events will be held at several locations across Northern Ireland over the coming months.
The first of these events will take place next week on 29 May in the Clayton Hotel, Ormeau Avenue, Belfast at 7pm.
