Special Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the Nursing Homes Support Scheme: Discussion
10:15 am
Mr. Ultan Hynes:
Basically, the cost of care that is agreed is for the lifetime of the person in the nursing home. I presume that is on the basis that groups of people in the nursing home have different levels of care and requirements. One person might be ready to move along, but other residents would be coming in as well. There clearly will be an assessment of a client's medical and nursing needs, but in respect of finance there is a fixed price and that is the rate.
