Máire Hoctor (Tipperary North, Fianna Fail)

As Deputy Reilly has a quarter share in a nursing home he is aware of the fact that inspections take place in private nursing homes at least twice a year. We already achieve a standard. If a house is already transferred it is not an issue with regard to the payment of nursing care. We anticipate the HIQA standards will be ready by June next year.
