We will ask the clerk to write to the HSE. We note the fact that it has been brought to our attention that there are cases where people are being charged for those items in private nursing homes, where if they were in the community, the items would ordinarily be available to them free of charge as medical card patients. We will ask what steps are being taken to deal with this issue. Is that agreed? Agreed.

I believe a committee member wants to raise No. 179, or do they want to leave it until the next meeting?
