Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Nursing Homes Support Scheme (Amendment) Bill 2019: Discussion
Mr. Niall Redmond:
As an asset in the ownership of an individual, it is currently assessed and there is no proposal to change that. However, there are a range of allowable deductions in the scheme, one of which is interest on a mortgage in the purchase of an asset. The interest can be discounted from the financial assessment.
