Government reneges on nursing home repayments

ANOTHER month has passed and another Government commitment has been broken.

The promised July repayment of money illegally taken from residents of long-stay community/nursing homes has been reneged upon.

It is now exactly three and a half years since I highlighted this illegality and called for immediate restitution. Since then, many hundreds with entitlement to repayment have died. For them, the great injustice can never be undone.
