View answer170. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Health the total number of inactive, unfunded beds which currently exist in each acute hospital here; the same figure in each of the past eight years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3010/15]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 169 and 170 together.
In relation to the specific queries raised by the Deputy, as these are service matters I have asked the HSE to respond to you directly. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and my officials will follow the matter up.
