Advocacy group to protest over Government's 'repeated failures' on nursing home residents

'There is no sign of reform and very little has changed from the experiences of families at the height of the pandemic to families when things go wrong today,' Care Champions founder Majella Beattie said

A group advocating for families and loved ones in nursing homes is to protest at Leinster House on Tuesday to highlight repeated failures which continue to "inflict unnecessary suffering” on residents.

Care Champions has supported 8,000 families and some 200 nursing home staff members over the past three years. It is calling for a series of actions which would improve the rights of those in nursing homes.
