Officials in the Department are engaging at a senior level with the HSE. HSE has ongoing engagements with home care providers to progress the new tender. No final decisions on the tender content have been reached. The HSE has proposed an extension of the existing contract arrangements to allow further time to finalise tender arrangements.
