Gary Gannon

Question:

161. Deputy Gary Gannon asked the Minister for Social Protection the steps she has taken regarding the staffing crisis in homecare service providers; her views on whether the decision to exclude home carers from the critical skills exemption is greatly exacerbating the problem; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

The HSE Home Support Service (formerly called the Home Help Service or Home Care Package Scheme) is a matter for the Department of Health and the HSE and I have no role in the matter. This Question is therefore more appropriate to my colleague, the Minister for Health.
