'Gamechanger' care for dementia sufferers being impacted by recruitment embargo 

The Oireachtas Health Committee is set to hear from both the ASI and Family Carers Ireland about the current state of play for those caring for people with dementia.

The implementation of a “gamechanger” new model of care for people living with dementia is being impacted by the ongoing recruitment embargo within the HSE, according to the Alzheimer Society of Ireland.

Meanwhile, many carers for loved ones with dementia or Alzheimer's continue to experience “great difficulty” in accessing statutory services and supports, the ASI will tell an Oireachtas committee on Wednesday.
