Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Regulation of Nursing Homes and Development of a New Model of Care for Older People: Discussion
Martin Conway (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
Based on those numbers, it would be fair to say there is in excess of 200 people under 50 currently placed in nursing homes. I would describe all of their placement in nursing homes as inappropriate. Is there a specific unit in the HSE or the Department of Health working to eliminate this and come up with more appropriate solutions for, in the first instance, that 200 and, moving forward, those under 65?
