Minister for Health (Dr. O'Hanlon): The estimated average daily cost of maintaining a person in long term residential hostel accommodation in each health board is set down below:

Health Board	Unsupervised Hostel	Supervised Hostel
	£	£
Eastern	10.00	24.50
Midland	9.55	21.08
Mid-Western	4.70	18.11
North-Eastern	4.61	20.83
North-Western	5.80	21.17
South-Eastern	2.67	21.79
Southern	6.20	19.09
Western	5.21	15.34

The cost varies by health board depending on the degree of dependency and the eligibility status of clients. Accordingly, it would be inappropriate to draw comparisons of relative efficiency on the basis of the data supplied.
