Pricing review of the nursing home fee structure to be published

A long-awaited pricing review looking at the fee structure within the nursing home sector is finally set to be published. Health Minister Simon Harris told the annual conference of Nursing Homes Ireland (NHI) that the report was recently submitted to his department by the National Treatment Purchase Fund (NTPF) and that nursing homeowners would be briefed on its contents in advance of publication.

He acknowledged that nursing home owners had endured “a tough number of years”, where they had been asked to make changes that “come at a cost”.
