Ceisteanna (711)

Eoin Ó Broin

Ceist:

711. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Health the reason a person (details supplied) is not being provided with a nurse on call service; his views on whether it is acceptable that the person has remained in hospital for 13 months ready to be discharged but for the availability of the nurse on-call hours; if he will compare the cost of keeping a person in hospital for 13 months with the cost of providing adequate home based nurse on call support; the total amount of funding for nurse on call services for each year from 2012 to 2016 and to date in 2017; the number of persons in receipt of home help hours; the number of hours provided to those persons for each year from 2012 to 2016 and to date in 2017; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As this question relates to service matters, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the Health Service Executive (HSE) for direct reply.
