Nursing Homes
Dail Éireann — 2024-02-29
============================================================

Rose Conway-Walsh (SF), Mayo

Where does the responsibility lie for people who are in long-term nursing care and have to access vital hospital services or orthodontic services. I have a case of a person who has been given a bill of almost €2,500 to get the necessary services. The person does not have an income, is on the fair deal scheme, topped up by his disability payment and his family does not have any means either. Who is responsible in that case?
