Treatment of elderly and disabled "disgraceful"
The Home Help/Home Care Community Action Group will be joining the anti-austerity budget day demonstration today to once again make it clear to Fine Gael, the Labour Party and the HSE that they will not give up until every last hour of home help cut this year has been reversed. They say they have also vowed to hold the government accountable.

Over 10,000 signatures will be presented to the HSE in Dublin on Wednesday 21 November by The Home Help/Home Care Community Action Group, demanding an immediate reversal of the cuts to home help hours and home care packages.

The Home Help/Home Care Action Group is calling on Health Minister James Reilly to clarify the private home care business interests of the government's top health policy advisor, Maureen Windle.

On Tuesday 18 September at 6pm on Home Help workers, clients, supporters and campaigners will protest outside Dail Eireann to highlight the disgraceful decision taken by Fine Gael, the Labour Party and the HSE to cut 600,000 home help hours and 800 home care packages and to demand that these cuts be immediately reversed.
