Commissioning stays with the HSE offices and delivery stays with your agency. Hettie supports the delivery side; the offices keep sending referrals to you in the usual way, and Hettie sits outside that process. The HSE Home Support Office for the county is Roscommon, at Government Buildings, Convent Road, Roscommon F42 VX53, telephone 090 663 7520 or 090 663 7522; its work is the out-of-hours line, welcome calls and satisfaction calls, with a written record of each call that you can show the HSE or HIQA.
Hettie picks up in your agency's name and tells the caller at once that it is an automated assistant; the routine calls, at the information and attention levels, end up in your morning summary. At minute 0 an urgent call is transferred live to your on-call nurse or manager. In an emergency Hettie tells the caller to ring 112 or 999 and alerts your on-call team at the same moment. Westdoc provides GP cover out of hours in County Roscommon; Hettie does not give medical advice.
Yes. Hettie works from the rota and the branch rules you give it, so one after-hours number can serve every branch your agency runs in the county; roscommon is the one town in County Roscommon with a local page so far, and this page links to it. The price does not change from county to county: €2 per active patient per month for After-hours Coverage, a €99 Starter for up to 50 patients, no setup fee and no contract.

Hettie asks one question to clarify and no more. The nurse on call decides what happens next. The 112 and 999 line is fixed safety wording your agency approves.
