The Deputy’s question is an operational matter for the HSE. However, the HSE requires details of the applicant’s date of birth in order for it to progress the question. If the Deputy would like to supply this information, I will arrange to have it forwarded to the HSE for direct reply to yourself.
Alternatively, the family may wish to contact their local Nursing Homes Support Office to discuss any questions they have about their application. Contact details are as follows;
HSE Nursing Homes Support Office, Health Centre, Longford Road, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, N91HP76
Phone: 044 939 4995 (Longford and Westmeath)
I can advise the Deputy that a statutory appeal service is provided for the Nursing Homes Support Scheme (NHSS) wherein appeals officers appointed from a panel, approved by the Minister for Health, make decisions as prescribed in Section 32 of the NHSS Act 2009, (as amended). Details on the NHSS can be found at National Appeals Process - HSE.ie.
