Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Winter Preparedness in the Hospital System: Discussion

Mr. Bernard Gloster:

I hope to go into next year and the following year showing the Government that I have delivered every hour it has given me and, therefore, having justified the basis for needing more, as opposed to previous years where we have not met the target. I absolutely do not dispute the Deputy's point. In fairness, she has been a strong advocate on this issue, as have many others, for as long as I am coming in here and longer. I cannot emphasise enough that there is no shortage of commitment or will on our part to increase continuously the option of home care supports for people. We do that to the best available resource we have, in both money and people.
