Former Health Minister Simon Harris has said that he is "comfortable that the Government acted in good faith" by pursuing a controversial legal strategy on nursing home charges.
The Government has found itself embroiled in controversy in recent days over allegations it "illegally charged" some older people for nursing home stays.
From 1970, people with medical cards were entitled to free nursing home stays. However, due to a lack of places, some people had to pay for care in private homes.
