Nursing Homes
Dail Éireann — 2024-05-09
============================================================

Martin Browne (SF), Tipperary

I accept that "rejected" is probably the wrong word.
They have been told the unit is not fit for purpose anymore. I do not want my parents or other people having to walk on unsafe floorboards in a nursing home. I want them to have toilets in their room and visitors not having to sit on beds. If hoists have to be used for elderly people, I do not want lockers and so on to have to be moved out of people's way. It is nonsensical that a purpose-built unit for 20 patients and others on the waiting list has been taken away.
