Question:97 Ms Shortall asked the Minister for Health and Children if his attention has been drawn to concerns by patients and their relatives at a nursing home (details supplied) in County Offaly that the nursing home is not registered as required by law with the Midland Health Board; if her attention has been drawn to the fact that nursing home subventions are not being paid in these cases in view of the fact that the home is not registered, thus causing severe financial hardship to these patients and families; the steps, if any, he will take to ensure that the home is registered and that nursing home subventions are paid in these cases; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
