Families of Fair Deal residents are to be given an extra six months to pay outstanding bills due to the State to cover the cost of nursing-home care after their loved one dies.
Currently the remaining financial contribution, running in to tens of thousands of euro in some cases, is due within 12 months of the nursing-home resident’s date of death. This will be extended by a further six months.
