Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions

Report on “A Good Death”: Office of the Ombudsman

4:45 pm

Mr. Peter Tyndall:

On the support of the office for people dying at home and the provision of services in that regard - most people would if they could choose to die at home - we are very supportive of initiatives of this type. However, resources are an issue. It is possible to deliver good palliative and nursing care to people in their own homes but this requires services which are sufficiently well resourced. There are excellent examples of this but there needs to be more.
