10,000 people were discharged from hospitals to nursing home settings in the six months from March, 2020.
Correspondence released to Aontú shows the National Treatment Purchase Fund said nursing homes needed to have "the ability to care for patients coming from an acute hospital setting".
The email was sent in March of last year, as Covid was taking hold in Ireland, and released to the party under Freedom of Information.
The email, which was sent to nursing homes seeks to establish capacity "to admit such residents into your home".
It says further instruction and discussion on terms and conditions would follow "as directed by the Department of Health and the HSE".
It also notes that the email does not constitute a contract or promise of residents from the NTPF, the HSE or the Department of Health.
