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:

That is an interesting question. If there were a legal definition we could hang the legislation on and if it had been available during the development of this legislation, it is something we would want to go back to look at. However, it would not be us making that decision, it would be the relevant Department bringing that forward to us. I think they are keen to ensure this sector is not overlooked. It is a matter for them in terms of how it is managed.
