I would like to ask about the potential amendment of the nursing home support scheme legislation to address the assessment of the assets of small businesses and family farms. It seems that forensic accountants could be brought in to assess the disparities in the cost of the provision of nursing home care across the State. The issue of overcharging in nursing homes, or services not being provided on foot of nursing home charges, has been identified by the Ombudsman. Will an overall review of the nursing home support scheme be carried out when the amending legislation is being introduced?
