Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Home Care: Discussion

Ms Catherine Keogh:

I thank the Deputy for the question. From our perspective, Fórsa has health and local government divisions. We represent workers in local government. We are aware that housing departments in local government provide grants to adapt houses for people as they get older or those with special needs. The Deputy is correct in that a holistic approach to this has to happen. One of the key factors to remaining in one's home is the ability to live, move around and be cared for in it. We see the link between health and local government in terms of providing that service.
