The cost of the use of a hospital bed per week is a service matter and has been referred to the HSE for direct reply. With regard to the cost of a nursing home bed, that information is published on the HSE's website at: http://www.hse.ie/eng/services/Find_a_Service/Older_People_Services/nhss/costs.html

I would like to advise the Deputy that the cost of care in public nursing homes is currently being reviewed.
