What is inflation currently running at?

The HSE say that they will look for a refund of the nursing home loan they will index it to inflation

"
When the nursing home loan falls due for repayment, the HSE writes to the relevant accountable person. The HSE notifies him/her that the loan must be repaid and advises of the amount due. In calculating the amount due, the HSE applies the consumer price index to the loan to take account of inflation or deflation since the loan was paid."

Do they mean house price inflation or normal inflation, and how much extra would I take that to be? Or is that a piece of string question??
