Amharc ar fhreagraThe Final Report from the Commission of Investigation, established to investigate the management, operation and supervision of the former Leas Cross Nursing Home was due to be completed and submitted to the Minister for Health and Children earlier this month. The Sole Member to the Commission recently advised that this report would not be completed within the time originally envisaged. He requested a revision of the time frame as provided for in the Commissions of Investigation Act, 2004. Following consideration of his request, Minister Harney decided to extend the time for completion of the above investigation from September, 2008 to the end of December, 2008. The implications of the report will be considered within the Department when it is received.
