The Nursing Homes Support Scheme does not provide financial support persons in nursing homes in Northern Ireland.

Anyone from the State who enters a nursing home in Northern Ireland would be doing so under a private contract between themselves and the relevant nursing home. Therefore the State has no record of the numbers doing so.
