Ceisteanna (495)

Barry Cowen

Ceist:

495. Deputy Barry Cowen asked the Minister for Health if an analysis has been carried out to assess the cost differential between a patient staying in an acute bed versus receiving home help hours; the average cost of keeping a person in an acute bed for a week; the cost per week of using home help hours; if the cost is less, the reason he is not increasing spending on home help while reducing spending on the acute side; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As this is a service matter I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.
