Cuirim fáilte roimh na hionadaithe ó SIPTU agus an INMO. First, on the statements, Mr. Ginley said that the "health service workforce has responsibilities outside of the workplace". Will he clarify what he means by that?

He noted that we are down 84 WTEs in home care support assistants. He said that additional announcements regarding home care hours are made without the HSE having available resources to provide them. Surely the hours are provided - that means they are funded. Is that not the case? The issue I have come across when dealing with this issue is the availability of staff.
