Liam Twomey (Wexford, Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 13:

In page 13, line 35, after "population" to insert the following:

"in terms of the provision and delivery of services and the regulation of

(i) the demand for,

(ii) supply of, and

(iii) number of,

residential places throughout the State".

Does HIQA have any plans to provide for how services will be provided in nursing homes? What is the Government response in regard to demand and supply and the number of residential places throughout the State?
