Hettie is on the provider's side of the arrangement: the HSE offices commission home support hours, and your agency delivers them; nothing about referrals or commissioned hours changes when you use Hettie. The HSE Home Support Office for the county is Monaghan, at Primary Care Building, Rooskey, Monaghan H18 DE78, telephone 047 955 60 or 047 955 63 or 047 955 73 or 047 955 72; Hettie answers your line out of hours, rings your clients for welcome and satisfaction calls, and writes up each call, which gives you a record to show the HSE or HIQA.
Hettie answers first, in your agency's name, and says it is an automated assistant; anything at information or attention level is written up for the morning. 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. NEDOC provides GP cover out of hours in County Monaghan; medical advice is outside what Hettie does.
Yes. A multi-branch agency in the county can run one line, with each branch keeping its own rota and escalation rules; this page links to 2 towns with local pages: Monaghan and Carrickmacross. Every county pays the same: €2 per active patient per month for After-hours Coverage, €99 a month for up to 50 patients, and no setup fee or 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.
