Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

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

9:30 am

Mr. Seán Moynihan:

As I said, not all the members of the Home Care Coalition agree with the Law Reform Commission, but some do and that is why we mentioned it.

One of its recommendations is that there be a contract between the service provider and the person receiving the service on the basis that they have entitlements. The service provider is saying it will provide them, such as going back to training and so on. The recipient can challenge the provider on the basis that it said it would provide something and has not. It is not an interpersonal thing, but a case where, like any other service, someone did not get what was promised.
