Under the 30-page plan, approved by the Department of Health, most of the extra €600m in funding is to be provided next year - €200m will be spent this year and €400m next year.Around 900 extra acute hospital beds are promised, including over 50 critical care or Intensive Care Unit-type beds.
Minister of State in the Department of Health, Mary Butler, has said the Government funding of €600m in the Winter Plan demonstrates how seriously the Government views the challenges coming towards us in the Winter months. Speaking at a HSE press conference this morning, Ms Butler also welcomed the new 'home first' approach, which emphasises providing extensive home care packages for those with more complex needs, including people with dementia, who are also being supported through the recruitment of 10 additional dementia advisers.
