I reiterate everyone's appreciation for how the HSE has acted throughout Covid. From what I hear and what I have read, it is clear that the NTPF does not have an appropriate model or process in place to determine fees or compare costs relating to nursing home care. Ms O'Connor said that the costing disparity depends on a number of factors. She referred, in particular, to the east-west costings and the fact that it costs more depending on the part of the country. Is that correct?
