Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions
Ombudsman's Report on Nursing Home Care: Discussion with Department of Health
4:45 pm
Dr. Ambrose McLoughlin:
Let me be absolutely clear. I will not discuss any of the 33 cases and I will not draw one conclusion or another from them. These cases are settled and they are all separate matters. The new fair deal scheme is in place. The legislation was passed by the Oireachtas in 2009 and it deals with most of the issues.
