Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Home Care: Discussion
Mr. Éamonn Donnelly:
Regardless of whether it is private or public, people want to keep their loved ones at home as best they can. There would be a tipping point if that became too expensive. The State has a duty of care to provide home care. It is a different world than what it was 30 years ago. The population is getting older; people are getting more able but there is more sickness.
