Mr. Pat Healy:

Section 33 of the Act that established the nursing homes support scheme sets out the arrangements to apply there. In the briefing note that we gave the committee, at 4.3., it sets out what is included and what is excluded. Essentially, what is included is the nursing and personal care costs, bed and board, basic aids and appliances and laundry. So those costs are charged then against the nursing homes support scheme. All other costs in our long-stay facilities, as the Deputy may know, many of them may have short-stay facilities, there would be day-care services on-site and things like that.
