309 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister for Health and Children if he will make a statement in response to the treatment of a person (details supplied) in County Kerry by the Southern Health Board. [11657/01]
The report of the Ombudsman into the nursing home subvention scheme identified a number of issues relating to the operation of the nursing home subvention scheme. It is the intention of my colleague, the Minister for Health and Children, Deputy Martin, to bring proposals to Government regarding whatever additional measures may be necessary arising from the Ombudsman's report, the expenditure review of the subvention scheme, together with experience gained from the operation of the scheme since its inception in 1993.
