Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Workforce Planning in the Irish Health Sector: Discussion (Resumed)

Community intervention teams have been a great addition to the delivery of services in primary care. They keep people out of hospital and allow people to come out of hospital quickly. My experience of community intervention teams is that they are now being restricted. There is a recruitment difficulty and their work has become so expansive that they find it very difficult to supply the service because more and more work comes from hospitals.
