Ms Patricia Rickard-Clarke:

We must not forget about home care. We have been talking about it for a very long time. We need people to live in their communities and we need proper home care to provide for that. Looking at our demographic, there are many older people who have no family members or others and end up in a nursing home because they have nothing else. They have no proper home care and they have no community primary care. The Law Reform Commission made recommendations in 2011 about the regulation of home care. That still has not happened and we still have no proper home care, although we are hearing every day that it is imminent.
