John Gormley (Dublin South East, Green Party)

Question 55: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if she will respond to criticisms from nursing home operators that her Department has delayed more than four months in responding to a request for service level agreements for contract beds and that no staff level rules exist for nursing homes even following such high profile cases as Rostrevor and Leas Cross; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
