Fair Deal nursing-home delays

Summary

Seán Ó Fearghaíl asks whether the nursing home support amendment Bill will address delays and make the Fair Deal scheme demand-led. The Taoiseach expects publication later this year, pending consideration of a report.

Seán Ó Fearghaíl Fianna Fáil

When will the nursing home support scheme (amendment) Bill be introduced? Will it address the severe difficulties people are experiencing as they await approval under the fair deal nursing homes scheme? They are suffering inordinately as a result of the serious delays in the scheme.

Is it intended that, as part of this legislation, the fair deal scheme will become a demand-led programme?
