It is a complex Bill. It is before the Seanad and the Government approved several technical amendments to it a fortnight ago. It will be brought here from the Seanad and I expect it to be implemented in law well before the next general election.

The Child Care (Amendment) Bill 2014 is due to be published this session. The review of the fair deal scheme was promised to be provided within a couple of months. Its implementation may require legislation in terms of a review of the Nursing Home Support Scheme Act 2009 because the scheme is statutorily based.
