Regulation of Nursing Homes and Development of a New Model of Care for Older People: Discussion

That is very positive. I recalled hearing that piece which was worrying but it is good to hear there is a high uptake.
Following an earlier question around care of the older person, the new model and needs for older people and support in the community, what would be the ideal timeline for that happening? We keep hearing about reports and so on but how long is reasonable for this sort of shift to happen? The HSE is trialling supports in the home. What is the time line for that and for reducing numbers in homes? Ideally, what number would this be reduced by? It might be pie in the sky thinking but what would be a good measure of its success?
