I did not understand the point being made regarding the fair deal scheme and nursing homes. There are approximately 22,000 people in the fair deal scheme. Not all of those properties are vacant, some of the people have surviving partners. As of November, only 44 households in the scheme had availed of the changed tax status. If someone is in a rental property and happens to be in the scheme, obviously, they will have the same rights and entitlements, depending on the length of the Part 4 tenancy in terms of notices of termination. What is the particular concern?
