The processing of approvals for financial support under the Nursing Homes Support Scheme re-commenced last week. Approvals are being issued to those applicants processed to final stage in the chronological order in which they were received in the Central Office in Tullamore. Approvals are currently being issued to the first 400 of these applicants. Funding is being assigned on a daily basis. There are approximately 700 further applications processed to final stage and now awaiting approval.

With regard to an individual's application under the scheme, this is a service matter and has been referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply.
