I move amendment No. 8:

In page 7, between lines 3 and 4, to insert the following:“Amendment to the Nursing Homes Support Scheme Act 2009

8. Section 14 of the Nursing Homes Support Scheme Act 2009 is amended by the insertion of the following subsection:

“(4) Where a person is offered State support under subsection (1), such person shall, as an alternative to that support, be entitled to request and be offered a home care package if such home care package meets the person’s care needs and is less costly than the long-term residential care service.”.”.
