The managing director said the staff are focused on providing care to the residents and trying to normalise life for them as much as public health measures allow. The TD said he wrote to the Minister for Health Simon Harris about the situation at this nursing home. “The deputy wants an assurance that the role will continue. I will revert to him directly or through the HSE on this in the coming days. To anybody who has any concern about any long-term residential care facility, I point out that HIQA is there as a regulator.”
Last month, RTÉ reported that the RCSI Hospital Group had taken over the operational management of the nursing home.
