Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Regulation of Nursing Homes and Development of a New Model of Care for Older People: Discussion
Professor Cecily Kelleher:
It is a key piece that has been brought out across the discussions this morning and of which the expert panel was aware. We were very clear in our recommendations that we wanted to see an integrated approach to both the public and private sectors in respect of nursing homes. Our recommendations focused very much on that. They were very clear on the immediate preparedness response, the importance of having the teams in the community that were up and running and supportive and all the things we have been talking about over the course of the morning, moving towards a new integrated model of care that facilitates choice.
