Question:

178 Mr. Stagg asked the Minister for Health and Children the number of acute beds in Naas General Hospital prior to the commencement of the redevelopment of the hospital sanctioned in 1996; and the number of acute beds now available in the hospital. [30617/03]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

Responsibility for the provision of services at Naas General Hospital rests with the Eastern Regional Health Authority. My Department has, therefore, asked the regional chief executive of the authority to examine the matters raised by the Deputy and to reply to him directly.
