Vol. 399 No. 7

Written Answers. - Hospital Statistics.

Bernard J. Durkan

Ceist:

32 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Health if he has available to him, through the VHI, statistics which would indicate for each of the past ten years (a) the approximate number of operations carried out in private hospitals throughout the country, (b) the average duration of the post-operative stay in hospital in such cases and (c) the average cost per bed per day; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

In the case of private hospitals, detailed statistics on the lines requested by the Deputy are not available in my Department, either through VHI sources or otherwise.
