It is envisaged by the Authority that this study will consider: The amount of nursing time required to meet FNC eligible residents' nursing needs. The total cost of providing the nursing element of care to FNC eligible residents. Identify a single national weekly per-person rate that would cover the average costs of providing nursing care to FNC eligible residents. Calculate any variation in costs (by considering for example the level of care needed, regional cost differences and the size and specialism of the nursing home).
