The NTPF is a government body whose functions include reducing waiting lists for treatment in the public healthcare system, as well as negotiating with nursing homes in relation to the scheme. It claims that following months of discussions and reviews, the nursing home declined to accept several offers, which it claims were well under the increase it had sought, made by the NTPF.

However, the nursing home claims the offer is neither fair nor reasonable. It has sought to challenge it by way of High Court judicial review.It claims that the offer, which it claims came about after the NTPF had delayed the negotiating process, and the refusal to backdate the payment to when discussions commenced will result in the business sustaining financial losses.
