Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 January 2024
1730. Deputy Richard Bruton asked the Minister for Health if he will indicate the proportion of nursing costs paid by the State and by residents and their families under the fair deal scheme, distinguishing payments by families made immediately and payments recovered later from property sales.

View answerAs this is an operational matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
As the Deputy may be aware, management and administrative grade staff in the Fórsa union in the HSE commenced industrial action on Friday, 6 October. As a consequence of this industrial action, members in these grades are not engaging with political forums or processes. As a result, the question asked by the Deputy may be delayed in receiving a response directly from the HSE.
