Who We Are

The NTPF is a corporate body with functions and responsibilities as set out under Statutory Instrument 179 - National Treatment Purchase Fund (Establishment) Order, 2004 and the Nursing Homes Support Scheme Act (2009). Its key functions are:

In carrying out its functions, the NTPF works closely with the Department of Health, the HSE, acute public hospitals and private nursing homes across the health system.

Nursing Home Support Scheme "NHSS" or "Fair Deal"

The NTPF negotiates with proprietors of private and voluntary registered nursing homes (on behalf of the State) to reach agreement in relation to the maximum price(s) that will be charged for the provision of long-term residential care services to Nursing Home Support Scheme residents.

As part of this function, the NTPF enters into "Approved Nursing Home Agreements" with registered private and voluntary nursing homes to record the maximum price(s) negotiated. The Head of Contracts & Strategy will manage the NHSS Team and will be required to deal directly with nursing homes under the scheme, including participating in the negotiation process.

The Head of Contracts & Strategy will be accountable for the efficient and effective management of the NTPF's resources, ensuring that funding is allocated in a fair and equitable manner, and that value for the exchequer is maintained.

  • Lead on the management of the activities, outcomes and key issues in respect of carrying out price negotiations with private and voluntary nursing homes for the Nursing Homes Support Scheme.
  • Management of the Contract Management team (team of 14 staff including 8 new posts).
  • Principal decision maker on price negotiations with private and voluntary nursing homes and fulfilling legal function in relation to same.

  • Developing and implementing new strategies to improve the contract negotiation process.
  • Playing a central role in policy development and implementation in the nursing home sector along with key stakeholders (Department of Health).
  • Reporting to the NTPF executive on the activities, outcomes and key issues arising from this role.
  • Ensuring that the process and output from NTPF's role provides value for money for exchequer funding.
  • Ensuring contracts are in compliance with NTPF remit and internal policies.
  • Managing the contract management and strategic support teams.
  • Providing support to the Director of Finance and CEO.
