Nursing home shut after HIQA inspections

A COURT has ordered the closure of a Co Meath nursing home.

Drogheda District Court was told yesterday that the operator of Creevelea Nursing Home in Laytown was withdrawing his appeal against the cancellation of the registration of the premises as a nursing home.

The cancellation of the registration had been sought by the Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) based on its concerns about conditions there.
