The Minister for Health has no role in reviewing appeals under the statutory Nursing Homes Support Scheme Act 2009. If a person is dissatisfied with the outcome of an appeal, they may appeal to the High Court against the decision on a point of law. Individuals may also take their case to the Office of the Ombudsman.
