Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Quarterly Meeting on Health Issues

Mr. Reid will comment on it in a moment. Deputy Kelly is asking what can we do now. We have increased home care and we will increase it more. We will increase transitional care more. There is a proposal from Limerick on a new community frail intervention therapy, FIT, team and two extra physiotherapists and occupational therapists. I expect to be able to approve that funding in the coming days. We will open the 15 beds in St. John's next week. The MRI will arrive on Friday. The 60-bed block is under way. I am genuinely trying to work with everyone to come up with ideas.
