WHAT IS THE FAIR DEAL SCHEME?

The Fair Deal Scheme provides financial support to patients in long-term residential care. The patient pays 80% of their net weekly income and 7.5% of the annual value of their net assets towards the cost of care. The 7.5% payment can be deferred in which case it is treated as a loan, payable out of the patient's estate after their death.
