Domiciliary care in Northern Ireland is “broken” according to a health chief who has warned of hundreds of new patients needing care packages every month with “no more money”
.
In a special meeting with the local authority, the health boss also stated that the trust was unable to accept any new patients with learning disabilities due to the ongoing Muckamore inquiry.Ms Coulter, stating she would be “open and honest” with the local authority, said: “I have worked in the health service all my life and I have never been as concerned as I am now with the inability to be able to provide adequate services.
“We have 5,317 care packages in the SE Trust alone and that number has 500 new patients every month, well beyond what we can provide in the health service, there needs to be a huge change in my view. “We have staff working under relentless pressure during the pandemic, but that has not alleviated on the front line.“With any new government coming is that is going to be right up there.”
