Comment on this
The information is in the form of a table which, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I will have circulated with the Official Report.
Following is the table:
About 70 per cent of the cost in each case related to treatment and the remaining 30 per cent to maintenance and overheads.
Separate costings for private, semi-private and public wards are not available.
