As stated in response to the original question posed by the Deputy in October last year the data sought are not collated in a manner that would facilitate the detailed breakdown requested. The HSE has committed in its National Service Plan to maintaining the home help and home care package services at levels planned for 2012. National Quality Guidelines for Home Help Services, including definition of the scope of Home Help Services are currently the subject of negotiations between the HSE and SIPTU under the auspices of the Labour Court.
