Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion
Let us take dieticians, for example. They are not visiting nursing homes. If a person in a nursing home wants to see a dietician, he or she has to be taken to hospital. When are we going to change this? There are dieticians who are not being paid travel expenses to visit nursing homes. Why can we not change this, rather than require patients to go to hospital?
