Nursing Home Care: Motion [Private Members] (27 Jun 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: It disappoints me that the Minister does not understand the context or the seriousness of the problem in the short term. All of the providers who are present, whom I welcome to the Gallery, have been in touch with our party and with the Minister. They are not just making up the crisis that is there. There is a real crisis there at the moment. The Minister stated that the fair deal scheme...

What steps has the Minister taken...

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Minister for that, but the question I asked was whether he had sought information from PwC. Was he concerned about what happened in Australia and the connection to Ireland?
