Question:135 Mr. Perry asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if her attention has been drawn to the fact that a 35-bed unit requires 760 hours of nurse and carer attention per week; her plans to have a uniform policy on contract beds treating all nursing homes in an equal fashion; if her attention has further been drawn to the serious crisis encountered by many small nursing homes in the west with capital allowances, subvention amounts, falling bed numbers and wages costs; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
