Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children (Mr. S. Power)

I understand that the document referred to by the Deputy was prepared by the Irish Nursing Homes Organisation. My Department has only received this document in the past few days and officials are currently examining its content. I propose to write separately to the Deputy when we have had the opportunity to consider the document.
