Sir, – Further to “Two more private nursing homes close their doors” (News, October 4th), this inexorable exodus of small community nursing homes, along with that of small local creches, appears to be due to ever-increasing bureaucratic burdens imposed on these smaller community-located services leading to unsustainable costs.
Surely it is time for the Government to take notice and intervene to curtail ever-increasing regulatory pressures and to work with small private nursing homes and creches to put in place administrative assistance to take the administrative burden off these small community-based services so as to enable them to continue doing what they do best in caring for those very valuable members of our society, both young and old. – Yours, etc,
