A Wexford woman was left lying helpless for 21 hours due to lack of carer

A Wexford woman was left lying helpless in a urine-soaked bed for 21 hours due to a lack of a carer. According to the Wexford People, Sharon Colgan who has cerebral palsy and a spinal injury was left lying helpless in a distraught state with no food or water because the company - which the HSE pays to provide her with homecare, could not find a replacement carer due to covid shortages. Sharon spoke to Shane this morning about her experience and what she wants to see changed in the home care service industry. Listen and subscribe to Newstalk Breakfast on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
