Clare Has Longest Home Care Waiting Lists In Ireland

Clare now has the longest waiting lists for homecare in the country. A new report from Home and Community Care Ireland, shows 304 people in this county are awaiting home supports. It's the highest figure per head of population nationwide, and HCCI has indicated the reason for Clare's backlog is unknown. HSE Regional Health Forum West Member and Shannon Banks Sinn Féin Cllr James Ryan says it's inexcusable.
