Mr. Joseph Hughes:

We are very lucky that there are two local homecare companies that have taken this on board themselves and have included sepsis awareness training for their existing and new staff. They are the first port of call for much of our older population in terms of minding them and looking after them.

Sepsis deaths are preventable and sepsis is the number one cause of preventable deaths and disabilities worldwide. It all starts with awareness. That is the top of the pyramid and it all rolls down after that. The HSE is saying that the sepsis 6 bundle is working and that it has all the bells and whistles but obviously it is not. Maybe they could look at Rory's regulations and collaborate there.
