A director of a care worker agency in Co Tyrone has heaped praise on carers in the region as the sector sees improved recruitment after major difficulties in the lead up to Christmas.
Carers at Strabane and District Caring Services struggled to cope with shifts in November and December as it was able to hire just one new carer per month at that time.
Now with increased funding from the Department of Health, its director Carmel Farrell has said it has been able to start twelve new carers in January.
