Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Joint Sub-Committee on Human Rights relative to Justice and Equality Matters

UN Convention on the Rights of Older People: Discussion

10:00 am

Mr. Justin Moran:

In the review of the fair deal scheme published earlier this year, the focus of the debate was very much on payment and how much residents would pay. It made an enormous number of recommendations on improving services and enabling residents to take control and have a little influence over nursing home situations. There are supposed to be nursing home residents' committees. How many are there, how do they operate and are they listened to or just talking shops? These are some of the discussions we need to have.

Ms Sleap will speak on the issue of dementia.
