Public-private partnership could deliver optimum homecare solution

Frances Fitzgerald was recently appointed as the new chair of Home and Community Care Ireland (HCCI), above with Micheal Wright, HCCI board member HCCI (left), and HCCI chief executive Joesph Musgrave.

Homecare should be delivered by the State and private providers working together rather than waiting for more public-only services, Frances Fitzgerald has urged.

The former justice minister and MEP was recently appointed chair of Home and Community Care Ireland (HCCI) representing private and voluntary homecare providers.
