Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Health Service Capacity Review: PA Consulting

9:00 am

Mr. George MacGinnis:

In the development of the scenarios, we had a good debate, which is reflected in the scenarios relating to moving people out of hospitals and how many should go to residential care beds, how much the system is being reformed and the use of home care packages, telecare and other forms of care as an alternative to residential care. The way that we factor that in is reflected in the assessment of the figures we gave earlier.
