Motion

Strengthening Homecare Provision

Strengthening Homecare Provision
That this Assembly recognises the essential contribution of the homecare (domiciliary care) sector to supporting independence and enabling older people, people with disabilities, and those living with long-term conditions to remain in their own homes and communities; acknowledges that demand for homecare is increasing and becoming more complex; notes with concern the ongoing pressures undermining effective community-based care, including persistent workforce shortages, rising fuel costs and regional disparities leading to delayed hospital discharges and unmet care; and calls on the Minister of Health to fulfil his commitment to introduce the real Living Wage for social care workers and to develop, through meaningful engagement and co-production, a comprehensive action plan to strengthen homecare in an equitable, sustainable and future proofed manner.
