The Ombudsman Peter Tyndall has today welcomed the Health Service Executive’s (HSE) decision to make a payment of €8,500 to an elderly woman’s family following its initial refusal of her application for a Home Care Grant (HCG).  The HSE had refused the application as the grant had been scrapped.  However, the woman’s application had been received by the HSE before the scheme was phased out.

The SPSO is inviting tenders for the provision of research services for a stand-alone project on financial redress.  There is a link to a PDF of the tender document on the right.
