Applications for the Nursing Homes Support Scheme are made to the local Nursing Homes Support Office. Details of these are at the back of the Information Booklet which is available from the Nursing Homes Support Offices or on-line at www.hse.ie or www.dohc.ie.

The latest figures available indicate that 10,600 applications for the scheme have been received. With regard to the time taken to process applications, 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. If this matter remains of continuing concern to you, however, I would invite you to raise it with me again in due course.
