The families of nursing home residents at risk of losing their homes over a Fair Deal funding crisis have given a cautious welcome to a round of funding talks with the National Treatment Purchase Fund (NTPF).

It follows a U-turn by CareChoice on Friday night on its decision to withdraw Beaumont Residential Care (BRC) home in Cork City from the Fair Deal scheme, to allow space for negotiation.
