I also raised the issue of patients having to pay for access to the therapies. A patient in a private nursing home who may be of limited means may have to pay for the therapies whereas the services are available to those in public nursing homes, which have allied staff who provide physiotherapy, occupational therapy and chiropody. That is a serious issue.
