Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 May 2010
167 Deputy Joanna Tuffy asked the Minister for Health and Children the number of nursing home applicants and residents that have declined to sign up for the nursing home scheme; the funding mechanism by which they are covered; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [18990/10]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that due to industrial action affecting the Health Service Executive it is not possible for the Executive to supply the information requested. If this matter remains of continuing concern to you, however, I would invite you to raise it with me again in due course.
