Ms Nuala O'Reilly:

The Deputy will be aware that the Health Act 2007 deals with designated centres for people with disabilities, older persons and children's centres. With the transfer of certain functions in the Act to the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, it would take a longer time to separate the nursing home elements if that is the approach to be taken. There is a lot of consideration to be made for the wider review of the Act.
