Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Sláintecare Implementation Strategy: Discussion
Why are we not seeing proactive work on that simple issue? There are approximately 24,000 people in nursing homes. If any one of them wishes to get access, the individual must physically go to a hospital. This is a very simple matter. There is a huge cost reduction in having a simple system put in place to accommodate the needs of the dietician who can provide the care where the person is being cared for.
