Special Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the Nursing Homes Support Scheme: Discussion

10:15 am

Dr. Colm O'Reardon:

I cannot see how that could happen. If we look at the demographics in our country, it is clear that we are going to have significant increases in the numbers of older people that we are going to have to care for into the future. We are going to need every service that is available to us, whether that is residential or home care.
