The Nursing Homes Support Scheme commenced on the 27th October 2009.
I wish to advise the Deputy that due to industrial action affecting the Health Service Executive it is not possible for the Executive to supply the information requested regarding the number of applications to received and the numbers of persons availing of the scheme. If these matters remain of continuing concern to you, however, I would invite you to raise them with me again in due course.
