@eir I would like to make a formal complaint regarding the mis-management of a situation which has remained unresolved for months. Can you please guide me on the formal complaint process?

[Liza Bergin @lizafitz84]

@eir I am after having the most horrendous experience with eir mobile this morning & would like a member of management to contact me ASAP. I have paid for a product & a service which I have not received & there seems to be no resolution in sight.

1) A social worker's response to 'Granny dumping', a term used to describe behaviour of a family who take a clinically well person to hospital and refuse to take them home. With minimal assessment, the family are usually labelled as Granny Dumpers in ED & it sticks for admission.

Interesting sharing from Ruth Usher. Cognitive screens cannot be the sole basis of denying capacity. Moving to occupational and functional assessments must be to the forefront of practice #aoti2020 #decisionmakingcapacity
