The total budget for long-term residential care in 2012, and for each year since the Nursing Homes Support Scheme commenced, is set out in the table below. This is effectively the budget for the Nursing Homes Support Scheme albeit that transitional arrangements must also be facilitated from within the budget, i.e. people in contract beds, people who choose to remain on subvention and saver cases in public nursing homes.
