Consultation on Neurology services – public engagement events

The consultation deadline is 6 August 2025.

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.
