I refer again to the contracts of care. The report states "Additional fees for increased dependency are therefore not allowed for Scheme-supported residents" and that "five of the six private nursing homes’ contracts of care reviewed included provisions for possible increases in charges if the resident’s level of dependency changed". Is this something that is clearly being flouted?
