HSE faces mounting pressure to deliver dedicated neurology service at LUH

The HSE is facing mounting pressure to deliver a dedicated neurology service at Letterkenny University Hospital.

An outreach neurology service is currently provided at the hospital with patients also forced to make the roundtrip to Sligo to see a consultant.

Health Minister Stephen Donnelly says he expects the results of a review of the service in Letterkenny to be available in September.

Elaine Cole who lives with MS, is a patient spokesperson for the group. On the Nine til Noon Show, she called on elected public representatives to get behind the campaign:
