Minister of State at the Department of Health

I propose to take Questions Nos. 501 and 502 together.

The weekly cost of all approved private and voluntary residential facilities is published on a monthly basis on the HSE website

http://www.hse.ie/eng/services/list/4/olderpeople/nhss/costs.html.

Details of the cost of care for all public nursing homes is also available on their website.

The Health Information and Quality Authority is an independent authority established under the Health Act 2007. Since 2009 all nursing homes - public, voluntary and private have been registered and inspected by HIQA.

A register of all nursing homes is available on the HIQA website www.hiqa.ie with a breakdown available per county.
