Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 15 December 2004
105 Mr. S. Ryan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the number of legal actions health boards are currently processing against private nursing homes for breach of the legislation under the Health (Nursing Homes) Act 1990; the names of the nursing homes in question; and if her attention has been drawn the response to Parliamentary Question No. 5 of 2 December 2004. [33604/04]
View answerI refer the Deputy to my written response of 28 October 2004 to Parliamentary Questions Nos. 143 to 146, inclusive. I informed the Deputy that there was one case pending before the courts and that I was not in a position to discuss the details of the case, as by doing so might prejudice the outcome of the case itself. I have had further inquiries made of the health boards-authority with a view to establishing the up-to-date position, and will be in touch with the Deputy again as soon as this information is received.
