Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

General Scheme of the Health (Amendment) (Licensing of Professional Home Support Providers) Bill 2024

9:30 am

Ms Fiona Larthwell:

I think the Deputy is right and it is something we have considered. We have spoken to HIQA about the fact that when it start engaging with providers, it will need to look at this very closely and look at that differentiation and distinction because we would not want things to fall out of regulation by accident or design because people are trying to avoid regulation - not that I think people would necessarily. It is something we will be looking very carefully.
