Mary Butler (FF), Waterford

If the Deputy gives me an opportunity to answer, I will try to do so. A total of €1.4 billion will be spent to support 22,700 residents in nursing home care this year. That is more than the amount allocated to mental health for the whole year. Regarding the value-for-money review the Deputy mentioned, the sample used was very small. It referred to five nursing homes and does not stand up.
