The Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, the Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.

In relation to the Health (Nursing Homes) (Amendment) Bill 2006, this Bill was designed to put the current subvention scheme, as currently provided for under the Nursing Home Regulations 1993, on a sound statutory footing. The Bill is currently on its passage through the Houses of the Oireachtas.
