Nursing homes body wants urgent meeting with Simon Harris

Nursing Home Ireland chief executive, Tadhg Daly:"It beggars belief that he (Minister Harris) has not even picked up the phone to ring us”

As nursing homes deal with two outbreaks of Covid-19, Nursing Homes Ireland says the Minister for Health, Simon Harris, has not responded to numerous requests to meet it to discuss the health crisis.

“We view it as a failure by the minister that we have to keep endlessly pursuing him as this crisis escalates hour-by-hour, day-by-day,” said Nursing Home Ireland chief executive, Tadhg Daly.
