Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Regulation of Nursing Homes and Development of a New Model of Care for Older People: Discussion
Mr. Phelim Quinn:
Certainly, in the early stages of the pandemic this became a considerable highlight. The fact is the HSE had a limited knowledge of the privately provided elements of the sector simply because the relationship was through the nursing home support scheme and it was mainly a financial arrangement between the nursing home support scheme on behalf of the HSE and private providers on behalf of residents.
