Leaders' Questions
4:00 am
Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)
What will happen in the case of a person who is unable to avail of home supports and is required to go to a nursing home, but is refused for not being high-dependency? Are these people being told to get lost and go back where they came from? If they are refused the option of nursing homes, where will they go? Many years ago, psychiatric patients released from mental institutions were abandoned in the community.
