This argument about HSE public nursing homes having to provide a higher level of care because there are more challenges does not always wash. In the case of a patient who was admitted with minor issues but encounters greater challenges as they get older, there is no increase in the provision to the private nursing home even though the level of care that is required has increased substantially over 12 months or two years. Is there not a need to review that issue?
