People waiting for home care services in Cork and Kerry make up more than one quarter of the national waiting list, according to an analysis of Health Service Executive figures by RTÉ's Upfront with Katie Hannon.
Cork and Kerry fall under a single geographic HSE Community Health Organisation, CHO 4. There are nine CHO areas nationwide. Just 1% of the total waiting list is living in CHO 9, which covers north Dublin. There, just 32 people were awaiting support hours.They show 14m support hours were provided in the first eight months of the year, an increase of 4% on the same period in 2022.
It says almost 40% of the hours were provided by directly employed staff at the HSE, with the remaining 60% coming through non-profit providers and private companies. Mr Musgrave is calling for a 'maximum waiting list target’ to be introduced, saying"no one should wait more than 14 days to be discharged from hospital back to their own home when they are deemed fit to do so"
