The Northern Ireland Executive has confirmed the creation of a specialised unit tasked with overseeing progress on the Department's Neurology Review.
Health Minister Robbie Butler stated that an additional £2.3 million in recurring yearly support will be provided to expand available treatment options.
These financial resources are intended to help lower the number of patients waiting for appointments across the region.
The funding arrangement operates through the Department's Elective Care Fund mechanism.
A Written Ministerial Statement was issued to the Assembly detailing the specific steps planned to enhance patient outcomes.
Public consultation on the review involved multiple engagement sessions held at various sites throughout Northern Ireland.
The analysis of feedback gathered during this process is now available for public inspection online.
Contributors to the inquiry included individuals with neurological conditions, their relatives, medical professionals and community groups.
An implementation strategy will be drafted by the new team, setting out clear targets and performance indicators.
This plan will incorporate key suggestions identified during the consultation phase.
The Department of Health NI Press Office remains available for further inquiries regarding these developments.
