Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Winter Preparedness in the Hospital System: Discussion

Mr. Bernard Gloster:

No. I am saying now what I said to my chief officers two weeks ago, that is, if there is a particular situation where they had already interviewed, selected, checked the references of and had ready to go a home help provider in an area where we employ direct home helps and where the employment of that home help would be directly linked to discharging someone from hospital in the latter stage of the year, I would look at it compassionately. That is all.
