Care of the Elderly (16 Nov 2011)

Charles Flanagan: There is a crisis in the provision of long-term care in County Laois as evidenced by the second closure of a long-established unit in as many weeks.

Deputies will recall that on Committee Stage I introduced the new Part 6, which includes amendments to family...
