Seymour Crawford (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the failure of the Minister for Health and Children, Deputy Mary Harney, to advise last night in this Chamber how a 99 year old County Cavan patient and others are to have their increased nursing home charges paid for and further to explain how the €110 million earmarked for delivery of her Fair Deal policy is now being used and why some of this funding cannot be used to pay the nursing home increases, thus removing the pressure and anxiety from our oldest citizens.
