It is true that each HSE region has an entirely different system of allocating subvention and the amounted allocated to you depends on what part of the country you live in.
Yes, exact figures are very difficult to get but from what I found out when looking is posted in my previous post. This is true.. Ask yourself why dublin has 3/4 times subvention rates than in the west (then ask where all the politicians are..
On top of this. If your mother is from the west but resident in a nursing home in the east, you only receive the subvention from the HSE West. This I cannot understand.
Newest date is September 1 2009. This information is from ministers office
Are you sure ? There aint no date agreed for this to enter the dail.

This seems to state that its already in with a maximum of 300 which is equal to subvention today so its not going close to cover costs and you'll end up with much larger costs in 2010 due to the tax implications of 2009 budget (41% relief down to 20%) but there are some changes mentioned here (but i'm unsure if these reliefs are on a per week basis as required or a per year, it does'nt state).
