463. Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Health when funding will be allocated for the refurbishment of a nursing home (details supplied) in County Roscommon; the reason for the delay; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46209/15]
View answerI recently announced an additional €200 million capital allocation for refurbishment or replacement of social care facilities for older persons to allow such facilities to comply with relevant National Standards by 2021. The HSE is formulating its plans for the application of this funding, and once these plans are ready they will be discussed in detail with the Health Information and Quality Authority. The HSE will also support relevant voluntary providers with which it has service level agreements in submitting individual plans. In advance of that process it is not possible to comment on any individual facility.
