Catherine Connolly: An analogy can be made with the housing assistance payment. An applicant can go anywhere he or she likes. Is that correct?

(9 Mar 2017)

Catherine Connolly: An applicant can go anywhere he or she likes as long as he or she finds a house. Is that not the same analogy?

Catherine Connolly: I understand. I will refer to Galway again. Sometimes it is easier to use a place. A person living in Galway who tries to get into a nursing home in that city, where there is public transport to enable him or her to visit loved ones, might be unable to get in because the nursing home is full. In such circumstances, he or she will have to go to Loughrea or Kilcolgan. Is that right?

Catherine Connolly: I thank Mr. Marron for that clarification. I do not accept that it is a choice. People cannot get public nursing home beds. They are not aware that they are entitled to choose. More publicity is needed. I would say very few people realise that there is now no difference between public and private in terms of the assessment. Mr. Marron is right when he says that one is theoretically...

Catherine Connolly: That is okay, but I am entitled to ask a question. I have been told that there is choice, but now it transpires that this choice is restricted to nursing homes that have pricing agreements with the NTPF.

Catherine Connolly: I am not arguing with Mr. O'Brien or taking fault with him. I am trying to clarify the issues. The choice is very limited. The HSE is not in a position to tell me today how many nursing homes in Galway city and county have pricing agreements with the NTPF.

Catherine Connolly: Lovely. I would also like to ask about the 7.5% contribution. After a person's care needs have been assessed, a financial assessment is carried out. A certain amount of cash in his or her bank account is disregarded. I think it is €30,000.

Catherine Connolly: Such a person has to hand over 80% of his or her pension or other social welfare payment. His or her means are then assessed. This includes the family home. I will use myself as an example. If my family home is assessed, a 7.5% charge is imposed every year for three years. Is that correct?
