Vol. 408 No. 1
151 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Health when he proposes to publish the report of conditions in Irish psychiatric hospitals from the inspector of mental hospitals in view of the fact that it has now been some years since his Department published any report about conditions in Irish psychiatric hospitals.
It is my intention to have the report of the inspector of mental hospitals for the years 1988 and 1989 laid before both Houses of the Oireachtas as soon as possible.
153 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Health the number of hospital beds he plans to re-open in 1991.
The number of acute hospital beds increased from 11,248 in 1989 to 12,000 in 1990. This increased level of bed availability will be maintained in 1991.
