Amharc ar fhreagraFollowing my reply to your PQ7918 of the 15 February 2018 the position remains similar. I hope to bring a memo to government in the coming weeks seeking government approval to amend the provisions of the Nursing Homes Support Scheme, to introduce the proposed changes. Primary legislation would then be required to give effect to the changes.
