I have raised several times in this House the situation of the hundreds of carers and their families who are awaiting life-changing home support services in County Wexford. More than 600 families are in that situation, with 227 awaiting further services. An internal review of these highly unsatisfactory waiting lists for the home care service in Wexford was conducted in November 2021. People in Wexford are very concerned about not knowing the overall context of that report. The south east community healthcare organisation, CHO, held a governance meeting in February to decide what resources were to be allocated to deal with this issue. In the interests of the families desperately awaiting these services, will the Taoiseach ensure the Minister for Health provides details of this resources allocation and that the HSE produces a copy of the report immediately?
