Are we getting good value for money from home care? I accept there is more funding. We are grateful for getting more funding, and 1 million more home care hours as well, but it is still not fulfilling the demand. What level of demand does the HSE want to fulfil to keep people out of hospital, off trolleys and from holding up beds in hospitals? Does Mr. Reid agree the way forward is more funding on home care?
