3 Interpretation

In these Regulations:

extensive care patient, in relation to a nursing home, means a qualified nursing home patient who requires, and receives in that nursing home, nursing home care of a kind required by a person:

(a) who, by reason of infirmity, or any illness, disease, incapacity or disability, is bedridden or virtually bedridden, and is wholly or substantially dependent on nursing care; or

(b) who is undergoing treatment for any illness, disease, incapacity or disability and, for the purposes of that treatment, is wholly or substantially dependent on nursing care.

ordinary care patient, in relation to a nursing home, means a qualified nursing home patient in that nursing home, not being a person who is an extensive care patient in relation to that nursing home.

the Act means the Nursing Homes Assistance Act 1974.
