I have been trying to piece together statistics on the level of service provided and it varies considerably throughout the country. I would not be surprised if there is a geographic difference in the response to that survey. From overnights to respite, home help and personal care hours, it certainly would not tie in with the proportion of the population that would require it. Some of the level of care provided appears to depend on historical reasons as opposed to current need. That is important. What timeframe is HIQA looking at?
