Mr. Pat Healy:

It is a very important question and we are very focused on it. One of the ways we are aiming to improve it is through community intervention teams whereby we will join up the work in the hospital, primary care team, something like a community nursing unit and social care. The community intervention teams have nurses who will go out and do the type of work the Deputy mentioned. Part of the initiative we implemented with Government support through funding was to increase the number of community intervention teams.
