HC Deb 16 February 1999 vol 325 c616W
Mr. Beggs

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what is the average weekly cost of providing nursing care in(a) private sector accommodation and (b) a hospital in Northern Ireland. [70201]

Mr. McFall

The information is not available in the form requested.

No separate assessment has been made centrally of the cost of providing nursing care in private sector accommodation.

Costing information on providing "nursing care" in a hospital is not available centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
