82 Mr. McEntee asked the Minister for Health and Children the number of patients discharged from acute hospitals to intermediate care beds under the Ten Point Plan to deal with the accident and emergency crisis; the average length of stay for these patients; the location the intermediate care was provided; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerOperational responsibility for the management and delivery of health and personal social services, including responsibility for the collection of data on hospital activity, is a matter for the Health Service Executive. My Department has, therefore, requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to reply directly to the Deputy in relation to the specific information requested.
