Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Regulation of Home Care Provision: Discussion

9:00 am

Mr. Pat Healy:

In CHO area nine, when one makes a comparison, I do not believe it is related to the nursing issue. There are 1,400 in CHO area nine and Galway which principally delivers its own services. It is more about how we have expanded the service significantly in the past three years, which is a good development.
