630. To ask the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to the position of St. Brendan's Community Village Project in Mulranny, County Mayo, which provides a continuum of housing care from independent living through to high support care, within the one community; if he appreciates that the viability of this not-for-profit charity is threatened by the same challenges which affect the many smaller nursing homes which have closed since 2020; the reason why this facility receives substantially less funding from the NTPF than HSE facilities; if he accepts that a smaller, local setting is more conducive to the wellbeing of older residents; if he intends to adjust the financial supports for smaller scale supported housing and nursing homes so that they are viable small businesses and appropriate care facilities for residents; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
