INHO: Government has failed to reform nursing home scheme

The Irish Nursing Homes Organisation has today criticised what it regards as the Government’s failure to reform the Nursing Home Subvention scheme.

“The failure of the Government to radically reform the subvention scheme for persons in long-term residential care is extremely disappointing, and is causing serious distress for many elderly people and their families all over the country,” said Tadhg Daly, chief executive of the Irish Nursing Homes Organisation (INHO).
