My Department is working on the draft heads of a Bill to amend the Health Act 2007 to enable the registration of undesignated residential care centres opened temporarily to provide emergency accommodation to persons with a disability to be achieved as soon as possible. Work on the Bill is at an advanced stage and I expect to be in a position to bring the Bill before the Oireachtas by the end of 2021.
