https://lnkd.in/eqH5Rdfy Thank you Senator Seán Kyne Houses of the Oireachtas welcome renewed commitment of Bernard Gloster Oireachtas Health Committee Wednesday 20th March 2024 Senator Seán Kyne: There is a commitment in the national service plan to provide primary care services to nursing home residents. It states that the HSE will continue to implement a new model of care specifically aimed at nursing home residents to ensure equity of access for the entire population. The HSE would provide aids and appliances to residents in nursing homes as per their assessed need for equipment to support the delivery of safe care. Could Mr. Gloster indicate what has been undertaken to fulfil this commitment? Could he assure the committee and Nursing Homes Ireland that this policy is in place or will be in place throughout the country? Mr. Bernard Gloster: Yes. This is a measure that I spoke to shortly after I took up the post. I believe there is a fundamental inequity for people who are in care in that just because they live in a nursing home they do not necessarily have access to the same range of services as if they were living at home. The intention is that it will become routine for primary care services that are available to people living in their own house to be equally available to people living in a nursing home, be it public or private. Senator Seán Kyne: Mr. Gloster said it is being done by 13 of the 30 teams. What is the plan for the others? Mr Bernard Gloster: I want to go beyond those 30 older people’s teams, and have general primary care staff going in and out of nursing homes. That is my target for this year, purely based on the principle of equity of access. We know that if we target our community resources to where the most frail are being cared for, we will not just substantially reduce pressure on hospitals, but we will give people a more appropriate type of service that they need and should be able to get from us. The fact that one lives in a private nursing home should not prevent a person from accessing public healthcare. Senator Seán Kyne: I thank Mr. Gloster.

If change is now the new normal, then we are fortunate to be the change as we follow paths of consciousness, creativity, courage, and calling.
