Wexford home support
Deputy Mythen described a large home-support waiting list in Wexford and asked about a local report and the resources to implement it. The Taoiseach said he would follow up with the Minister on funding for home supports.
The waiting list for home support services in County Wexford stands at 644 families, with another 227 families waiting for increased supports. Home support, as I am sure the Taoiseach will agree, is one of the most important life-changing services the HSE provides to families and their loved ones and lifts people out of a world of anxiety and worry. A report was completed for home care service for Wexford in 2021, with plans to implement the recommendations throughout 2022. Will the HSE provide copies of this report? Does the Taoiseach know whether resources are allocated to cover the recommendations contained in the report?
