Paul McAuliffe

Question:

608. Deputy Paul McAuliffe asked the Minister for Health his plans for a nursing home (details supplied). [16490/20]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Health

The HSE has had a number of formal engagements with the Agency referred to by the Deputy over the past year. There were three meetings in 2019 and there have been a number of meetings so far in 2020, most recently in late June, with further engagement planned. I understand the General Manager notified staff on 3 June 2020 of the decision of the Board of Management to close the facility.

As this is an operational matter I have arranged for the Deputy’s questions to be forwarded to the HSE for direct reply.
