The funding which was announced by Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly this morning is once-off, as part of Government measures to ease cost-of-living pressures.
The Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform announced funding to assist various sectors with costs related to energy inflation in Budget 2023 including €100 million targeted at what is being described as “a range of Health funded bodies including nursing homes, hospices and Section 39 organisations.”
