Financial Resolutions 2012: Financial Resolution No. 13: General (Resumed)
12:00 pm
Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)
The Minister for Health, Deputy Reilly, confirmed on Monday that more nursing homes will be closed in 2012. This is dreadful news for elderly people and their families as we approach Christmas. The way in which the Government has approached this issue has been sleekit. The names of 80 nursing homes which may be closed was leaked to the media, including two in my constituency of Louth, St. Joseph's in Ardee and the Cottage in Drogheda.
