Beaumont Residential Care near Blackrock told families of residents it cannot provide care under Fair Deal scheme at current rates
“We held a protest at Micheál Martin’s constituency office today [Monday] to highlight the issue because it’s dreadful - I don’t know who is going to take my mum on if Beaumont exits the scheme because we can’t afford to go private. The government needs to improve the rates they give the NTPF.”
“I think there’s a bit of passing the buck going on because the Minister with responsibility for Older People Mary Butler said in a letter she had no role in this and that it was a matter for the NTPF. It’s hard to have sympathy for the Government on this because they are saying there is money there.”
CareChoice CEO Stuart Murphy said the decision to withdraw Beaumont from the Fair Deal was not taken lightly, but it had spent seven months trying to persuade the NTPF, the HSE and the Department of Health to engage with it on “the chronic underfunding of caring for Fair Deal residents”. “We believe the NTPF is engaging in discriminatory behaviour against Fair Deal residents in Beaumont Residential Care. The reality is that NTPF underfunding has been a factor in the closure of 25 private nursing homes in Ireland over the last 18 months,” he said.
