Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Oversight of Sláintecare: Discussion
Mr. Paul Reid:
I will pass over to my colleagues who will recount some of the specific challenges we face at the minute. These largely relate to discharge and particularly the discharge of elderly people. This is a key factor in Limerick. Some 50% of our nursing homes have outbreaks and we cannot discharge to them. We are also using private nursing home capacity for discharge. I will ask my colleagues to give some specifics.
