Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Housing for Older People: Discussion (Resumed)

12:00 pm

Mr. Niall Redmond:

With regard to delayed discharges, the biggest category we would typically see tends to be people who are going into and who have a need for residential nursing home care. This would be the biggest cohort of people who make up delayed discharges because they are waiting for a placement and going through the fair deal or home care packages application process. The number awaiting the housing adaption grant is generally quite small.
