When will the Government bring the legislative changes to the fair deal scheme that will cap contributions based on farm and business assets at three years in the same way as it is done for homes? This will reflect a family’s ability to pay rather than anything else. It is an item of considerable concern for farmers and small business owners. The general scheme of the Bill for these changes was approved by the Government in June 2019 and immediate progress would provide much-needed help for families caring for loved ones.
