Public Accounts Committee

Special Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the Nursing Homes Support Scheme: Discussion

10:15 am

Ms Anne O'Connor:

A significant amount of work goes on in determining those assets, but again, our experts are in the other room. In terms of determining people's assets as part of the fair deal assessment process, there are quite robust systems in place for how we work through that process with people. There is a financial system there that is set to be updated. We are working in the most standardised way we can in the units around the country, given the infrastructure available to us. The fair deal scheme and the work of the HSE is standardised in how we go through that process with people. It is bound by the rules set in the legislation around it.
