Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Examination of HIQA Report on the Impact of Covid-19 on Nursing Homes in Ireland

Ms Mary Dunnion:

I acknowledge and agree with Deputy Smith that there is a higher percentage in private provision. It has been indicated that this policy is to be reviewed. The current model is based on national policy and, therefore, it requires a change if that is the direction of travel the Government decides on.
