Seymour Crawford (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter of national and local importance, namely, the urgent need for a full debate regarding the major changes and withdrawal of funds from persons at present in nursing homes under subvention or the less than adequate funding through subvention for those who need such nursing homes. All these changes are causing concern and chaos to individuals' families and in turn causing serious delays in the transfer of relevant patients from hospital beds already under pressure.
