Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Nursing Home Charges: Department of Health
Mr. Robert Watt:
Yes. That is because the cases were settled so the State did not concede the legal point that these were covered within the Act. I guess that is the point, which I think the Attorney General sets out in his report. The State did not ultimately admit to or concede the legal point on the basis on which the cases were made, though it subsequently decided not to appeal to the High Court and to allow them to be settled.
