CareChoice, which has already withdrawn Beaumont care home from scheme, cautioned its five other homes in Cork region may also be at risk
“Cork can’t afford to lose any more beds from the Fair Deal scheme but that’s what’s coming down the track unless the NTPF negotiates a sustainable Fair Deal rate for private nursing home operators in Cork because I believe we, and others, can’t continue operating on the current rates.”
Mr Murphy said he was surprised to learn of a statement by a spokesman for Tánaiste Micheál Martin who said in relation to the impasse at Beaumont Residential Care that negotiations between the NTPF and CareChoice had not yet been fully exhausted. Contacted regarding comments by relatives of residents of Beaumont urging the Government to intervene, the Department of Health said Minister with Responsibility for Older People, Mary Butler, and the Government were conscious of the financial challenges faced in the sector.
