Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Home Care: Discussion

Mr. Joseph Musgrave:

The single assessment tool was part of the four pilot sites the Government announced as part of the statutory home care scheme. Only one of those sites is currently in operation. The single assessment tool is being trialled as part of those. One of the two single assessment tool parts is not up and running because staff cannot be recruited to do it. That should in theory solve the problem that is being talked about. There would be a national tool for the first time, but it is still pending, in the pilot stage.
