The budget for the Nursing Homes Support Scheme for 2011, 2012 and 2013 is as follows:
| Year | € |
|---|---|
| 2011 | €1,011m |
| 2012 | €994m |

As the HSE is responsible for the administration of the Scheme, the issue of resident contribution has been passed to the Executive for direct reply. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days, please contact my private office and they will follow up the matter with them.
