Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Health Needs of Persons with Dementia and the Services Available: Discussion

9:30 am

Ms Clare Duffy:

We suggested that we begin to do an audit or map of respite provision and we started it approximately ten years ago with the HSE. Approximately a decade ago, ASI did a similar exercise with a mapping of dementia services. We wanted to steal that lovely model the ASI developed and do it for respite. We are still calling for that. We need to do an audit of respite provision to establish what respite is available where and for whom.
