I object to the schedule for today's business if it does not include provision to discuss the HSE decision to suspend the allocation of new home help hours for the next five months. The action taken by the HSE is contrary to the programme for Government and the HSE's own service plan and needs to be reversed immediately. It will have a serious impact on the health service and a devastating impact on older people and carers.
