Maggie Doyle is a regular user of the social day care service being provided at Easkey Health Care centre. However, the centre now only operates for 2 days per week, as opposed to 4 before Covid, and she says this is not acceptable
In a statement, the HSE said:
The Social Day Centre in Easkey, Co. Sligo, closed in March 2020 due to National and Public Health advice.
Prior to the pandemic, Easkey Social Day Centre operated from Monday to Thursday each week. Currently the service operates on a Wednesday and Thursday per week due to staff vacancies.
A HSE recruitment campaign is underway and once the posts are in place, this will allow for the services at Easkey Day Centre to reopen four days per week.
