At the request of the Clinical Lead for the NCPRM and the Programme Manager for the Spinal Cord System of Care Programme in the National Rehabilitation Hospital (NRH), the Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) agreed to undertake a Health technology assessment (HTA) on domiciliary invasive ventilation for adults with spinal cord injuries (SCI). This HTA aimed to assess the organisational, budget impact and resource implications associated with, and the social and ethical issues arising from, the provision of care to ventilator-dependent adults with SCI within their own home. The report was published in June 2023.
