Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Nursing Home Charges: Department of Health

Mr. Robert Watt:

Because it was an estimate of the numbers of people in these facilities for a period we do not believe is encompassed by the legal case. It goes back to the early 1970s. We do not believe this particular case is encompassed in that time period. Because of the estimates used of the charges levied and the way in which the deflator was applied, we do not see how it could get to that number.
