Amharc ar fhreagra258 Deputy Gerry Adams asked the Minister for Health the weekly cost per patient in each of the public nursing homes in the State. [10329/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 257 and 258 together.
The cost of care in every public nursing home in the State is published on the HSE's website at: http://www.hse.ie/eng/services/Find_a_Service/Older_People_Services/nhss/costhse.pdf.
The HSE is currently reviewing its cost of care. This will take account of the effect of the ‘grace period' for staff retiring on current costs.
