Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Health

As this is a service matter it has been referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply, however, I would like to advise the Deputy that St. Brigid's Nursing Home, Crooksling was registered as a designated centre for older people by the Health Information and Quality Authority on 25 June 2012.
