- Nursing Homes Support Scheme (31 May 2011)
Billy Kelleher: I thank the Minister of State for the reply but it leaves me more confused than I was before. I do not mean that disrespectfully. Last week in The Irish Times, the Minister for Health and Children said "I believe it is only proper that money be brought back from the ancillary services and put back in to the Fair Deal scheme which will allow for the continued processing and approval of...
- Nursing Homes Support Scheme (31 May 2011)
Billy Kelleher: In the programme for Government it is stated quite clearly that there will be an increase in funding every year in the provision of nursing home care.

- Health Service Executive Board (31 May 2011)
Billy Kelleher: Does the Minister agree there is a lack of corporate oversight and governance on the board of the HSE given that officials are now overseeing their own work at board level? That could be a cause of concern, particularly in the HSE. In regard to proposals to subsume the agency back into the Department, will this result in a large reduction in the number of staff currently employed in the...

In addition the Office for Disability and Mental Health was...

Billy Kelleher: I welcome the Minister of State's commitment to continue to close the old psychiatric hospitals and to provide community-based facilities.
