Local nursing home prosecuted

Two Nursing Homes that have been prosecuted by the Health Service Executive claim they are providing the highest standards of care to their residents.

It comes in the wake of reports that both Delvin Lodge in County Meath and Castle Lodge in County Louth are due in court this week for alleged breaches of care.

The facilities have been prosecuted by the HSE for failing to have warm beds for patients and failing to record the administration of medication.
