Under the Nursing Homes Support Scheme Act 2009, the HSE has statutory responsibility to operate and administer the Scheme. Therefore, the Deputy's question has been referred to the HSE for direct reply. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
