Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick East, Labour)

When will the Report Stage of the Nursing Homes Support Scheme Bill be taken in the House? The Minister for Health and Children told us on Committee Stage that she is expecting to implement the legislation in the autumn and it still needs to go to the Seanad. Is it planned to go ahead in the timeframe we were originally given? There has been some speculation in the media that for financial reasons it might not proceed in the autumn.
