I recently announced an additional €200mcapital allocation for refurbishment or replacement of social care facilities for older persons to allow such facilities to comply with relevant National Standards by 2021. The HSE is formulating its plans for the application of this funding, and once these plans are ready they will be discussed in detail with the Health Information and Quality Authority. The HSE will also support relevant voluntary providers with which it has service level agreements in submitting individual plans. In advance of that process it is not possible to comment on any individual facility.
