Nursing Homes Support Scheme Bill 2008: Committee Stage (Resumed)
7:00 am
Frances Fitzgerald (Fine Gael)
It effectively means people who are already in nursing homes will have to move into the scheme because, assuming increased costs, the current subvention will not then cover the costs of their care. People will have to move into the scheme, given that the Minister of State said there will be no increases, even if costs go up.
