121 Mr. O’Dowd asked the Minister for Health and Children his views on the bed crisis at Louth County Hospital, Dundalk. [10382/04]
View answerResponsibility for the provision of services at Louth County Hospital, Dundalk rests with the North Eastern Health Board. My Department has, therefore, asked the CEO of the board to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and to reply to him directly.
Under the bed capacity initiative, an additional 14 beds have been funded and commissioned at the hospital in order to alleviate service pressures.
