Mr. Michael Fitzgerald:

I am not aware of it. I understand that recently there were some issues with regard to a new incontinence contract arrangement that was rolled out by my colleagues in primary care and which had some negative effects around the countryside with regard to supply, etc. I have not heard of specific instances of charging for additional continence wear. My remit very much covers older persons services and the nursing homes support scheme itself. This service is separate from the scheme but I can come back to the Deputy in this regard having consulted my colleagues in disability services.
