Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Winter Preparedness in the Hospital System: Discussion
Ms Sandra Broderick:
Retention and recruitment of home support workers are difficult. We are working with the Department on policy initiatives around trying to retain the staff we already have and attracting more people in by making it a viable career, where they can deliver more than just the activities of daily living to someone. It is about enhancing what those home support workers can do to try to see if we can put some sort of career path in place for those who work for us.
