Following the recent Budget announcement, the HSE and officials from the Department of Health are in the process of developing and agreeing the HSE National Service Plan 2019, which will set out, in detail, the type and quantum of services to be delivered in 2019 including in relation to services for older people.

Regarding Home Support Services delivered in 2018, as this is a service matter I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.
