I refer to promised secondary legislation relating to the fair deal scheme. Currently there are seven telestroke diagnostic machines in storage which could save the HSE approximately €55 million. In the interests of stroke patients - and of the health budget - when will these machines be unpacked? Is it the Government's intention to proceed with the fair deal commencement orders under the Health (Amendment) Act 2013, given that1.6% of the total health budget is going on the nursing home care of people with a stroke?
