Michael Finucane
Ceist:187 Mr. Finucane asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason for the lack of consistency in the payment of nursing home subvention between the Southern Health Board area and the Mid-Western Health Board; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the Southern Health Board area pays the maximum amount to meet the nursing home charge as opposed to the maximum recommended subvention of £150 in the case of the Mid-Western Health Board; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
