Text

Mr Wilson asked the Minister of Health, after noting that the Minister would be aware of the concerning trend in the reliable and consistent fulfilment of domiciliary care packages, which affects the largely rural constituency of Newry and Armagh, and further noting the recent decision of a provider to reduce and withdraw services to elderly patients in the Markethill and surrounding areas, which has impacted on a number of families that are now having difficulty in ensuring that their loved ones are adequately cared for at home, what plans he has to enhance the provision of domiciliary care in rural areas in that constituency.
