In six years, there has been no significant increase in the number of public health nurses. Surely Mr. Moloney's Department should intervene in that scenario? I was recently contacted by a 78-year-old man who lives less than 1 mile from an office where public health nurses are based. He was in hospital for three months as a result of Covid, after which he came home. To this day, he has not been seen by a public health nurse.
