I know the HSE is dealing with a wide range of cases. If we say the average public cost for nursing home care is €1,564 and for private it is €968, what is the associated average cost if we were to extrapolate for the patients who are in nursing homes to have home care packages? We would be talking about a substantial number of home care packages being required. Does the HSE have a cost as to what that would average out at?
