Clarity urged over care home admissions after reprieve
Stormont Health Minister Edwin Poots has been urged to clarify if the admissions policy on NHS care homes will be changed.
It follows the announcement of a reprieve for 18 NHS care homes earmarked for closure.
Stephanie Greenwood of Unison said if homes were not taking on new residents, their long-term future was in doubt.
