Even within counties there is a discrepancy with the subvention being paid to private nursing homes. I am just talking about Carlow and Kilkenny, which is one constituency, where different rates are being paid in different areas that are not far apart. I refer to the monthly subvention. How come one private nursing home is getting more per patient than another? That has been pointed out to me by several individuals.
