‹ Order of Business Fair Deal scheme continuity
Summary
Deputy Healy-Rae seeks assurance that Fair Deal payments for elderly people will continue under health and social-care reforms; the Taoiseach cannot identify the Bill and promises to provide information.
The continuity of the payment of the fair deal scheme is of paramount importance to our elderly people. The continuation of the good work that has been done by the institutions that take care of our elderly is also very important. I am asking this question in respect of the health and social care reform Bill. Can the Government give an assurance to elderly people that the fair deal will continue to be paid?
