Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 May 2015
158. Deputy Tom Barry asked the Minister for Health to outline the stage the review of the fair deal scheme is at; and if consideration is being given to a cap on the charge for nursing home care against non-residential productive assets, which is impacting negatively on farm families and small business owners. [18992/15]
View answerThe review of the Nursing Homes Support Scheme is almost complete, and it will be finalised and made public as soon as possible.
The particular issue referred to by the Deputy has already been brought to the attention of my officials and while it will be referred to in the review, it will require further consideration after the review is completed.
