The nursing home scheme was announced with a refund in 2006. The first challenge in the High Court was in December 2004 and anyone who was alive on or after 8 December 1998 could claim. Am I correct that anyone who was in a public nursing home prior to 8 December 1998 but who had died was not entitled to claim? In other words, it goes back six years from the date of the first challenge in the High Court, and also the date by which the Department announced that no further public charges could be made. Am I correct on that?
