Committee on Public Petitions

Nursing Home Casebook: Ombudsman, Mr. Peter Tyndall

1:30 pm

Mr. Peter Tyndall:

That is very helpful, but it is for the committee to decide what it does.

On alternative care models, I take the view there should be a single funding model and that the presumption should be that there should be support for people in their own homes, if possible and it is the person's preference, rather than having the money compartmentalised, leading to decisions about care being taken on the basis of budgets, rather than preference and best outcomes.
