Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Regulation of Home Care Provision: Discussion
9:00 am
Mr. Michael Fitzgerald:
I think there are two pieces. We are collecting information on people who are waiting for new service, that is, they have no service at the moment. We are also collecting information on people who are seeking additional service. We are combining those figures for this purpose. Different levels of resources are available from one location to another. The other piece of it is that provision takes a different format from one location to the other where assessment processes are concerned. They are factors that might be considered in a scheme that would bring some kind of co-ordinated approach.
