Galway Bay fm newsroom - The government is being urged to urgently reopen day services for the elderly and those with a disability.
State funded day services remain closed or are only available for part of the week.
That's despite the fact many staff and users are fully vaccinated against Covid-19.
Independent Roscommon/Galway TD Denis Naughten argues people rely on these centres for socialisation and it's unacceptable they're still shut.
Chief Operations Officer with the HSE Anne O'Connor told Keith Finnegan on Galway Talks the opening of day services is being reviewed in the context of Covid and the new Delta variant.
She said the HSE recognises the key role it plays for the elderly and the group is committed to getting day services back when it's safe to do so.
