The Government has made great hay out of the announcement to amend the fair deal legislation to make it fairer for farming families but has done little to progress the Bill to make it a reality. When can we expect to see the heads of the Bill? It will take a significant amount of time to pass the legislation. Due to the wait for the Bill there are many farm families, especially the older generation, locked out of access to a nursing home.
