Using data from a variety of sources including parliamentary questions, HSE publications and sectoral reports, the HCCI Data Series is an accessible and insightful study of key statistics in home care, HSE home support delivery and waiting lists.\u003Cbr>This issue – Review of 2023\u003Cbr>A record 22.1m hours of HSE-funded home support was delivered in 2023, an increase of 1.3m hours from 2022 , that has brought the waiting list down by 12% to 5,863 . Strong growth nationally in home support delivery is reason for optimism about the future of Ireland’s home care sector.\u003Cbr>However, the Eircode lottery for home care persists with this issue revealing stark differences in waiting lists and home support growth between Dublin and its commuter belt compared to the rest of the country. | \u003Cbr>Table of Contents\u003Cbr>Key Events in Home Care 2023 ......................................................... 3\u003Cbr>HSE Home Support – Key Statistics in 2023 ...................................... 4\u003Cbr>In Depth – Home Support Waiting List 2023 ...................................... 5\u003Cbr>In Depth – Home Support Delivery 2023 ............................................ 6\u003Cbr>Key Takeaways ................................................................................ 7\u003Cbr>Indicators for 2024 & 2025 ............................................................. 10\u003Cbr>References.................................................................................... 11\u003Cbr>Published: September 2024 |\n| --- | --- |\n\n\n| Key Events in Home Care 2023\u003Cbr>Record €723m funding for home support\u003Cbr>With a record budget of €723m, the HSE’s National Service Plan 2023 targeted the delivery of 23.9m hours to 55,910 older people.\u003Cbr>Employment permits contribute to growth\u003Cbr>Following years of campaigning, home care providers were given access to non-EEA employment permits from January 2023. Take up of the permits accelerated after the Authorisation Scheme was agreed, with 450 permits granted in 2023 and the sector surpassing its initial 1,000 quota in July 2024, leading to the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment granting an additional 500 permits in September 2024.\u003Cbr>HSE Authorisation Scheme improves rate for providers and home care workers\u003Cbr>The HSE Home Support Authorisation Scheme came into effect in August 2023, replacing the 2018 home support tender. It sets a fixed price of €31 per hour of care delivered and mandates that home care workers be paid the living wage as a minimum and receive payment for time spent travelling between clients. However, these welcome | measures came at a price; to fund the Scheme, the Department of Health reduced their home care targets down by 1.9m hours, to 22 million. Nevertheless, the Authorisation Scheme has made a positive impact on recruitment and retention which, as seen in this issue, has led to growth in delivery and waiting list reduction in parts of Ireland.\u003Cbr>Wider health budget overruns stymie home support\u003Cbr>Home support received no increase in funding in Budget 2024, despite meeting its budget and the cost saving offered by home care through rapid hospital discharge and preventing hospital admissions. Ireland ages regardless of home support funding and the failure to grow the service leads to unmet need in the community. Areas with high HSE delivery will have also suffered from the HSE recruitment embargo.\u003Cbr>Further delays to the Statutory Home Support Scheme\u003Cbr>Little progress was made in developing the Statutory Scheme , with much of 2023 devoted to developing regulations for home support providers. As a result, the heads of legislation to license home support providers were published in April 2024.
