Committee on Public Petitions

Closure of Vital Health Services: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Joe Ryan:

My colleague, Ms O'Donovan, who is the chief officer of Cork and Kerry can address that in detail. However, in the first instance, the model of care is changing and we are trying to move to delivering as much service as we can in people's homes, and providing residential services where needed. The model of care has shifted from what it was in the past. That is at the national level. What we see with Owenacurra and the solution my colleague will now talk about, is how we are going to try to address the needs of the population in accordance with the new models of care we need to move to.
