Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Home Care Services: Discussion

11:40 am

Mr. Pat McLoughlin:

Carers complain that when a multiplicity of carers are going into a house it causes difficulty, particularly for the person with dementia. Carers are task timed and they have to work quickly and move on. However, I have only anecdotal evidence in this regard because we have not done any study on it.
