Ms Audry Deane:

To add to what Mr. Liam O'Sullivan mentioned about the single assessment tool, Age Action sits on the multi-disciplinary group which is supposedly developing and rolling that out across all CHOs. He is right that there are serious delays and technical issues, and the HSE is burdened with many competing demands. This is a tool which could make one part of it work much more easily. It is not being prioritised and we are deeply concerned.
