Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael)

I second Senator Ross's amendment to the Order of Business. In December 2004, the Government gave an absolute commitment to repay families that were overcharged and had moneys illegally deducted by nursing homes. It now appears that it may be thinking of reneging on this promise. I ask for the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children to come to the House and explain the current situation and when the moneys will be repaid, if ever.
