Vol. 405 No. 8
59 Mr. J. O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Health the number of patients on waiting lists for institutional care beds in the Southern Health Board areas.
Details of the number of patients on waiting lists for admission to extended care facilities in the Southern Health Board area are recorded and retained at local health board level and are not routinely available to my Department.
The information requested by the Deputy is being obtained from the board at present and I shall communicate further with him on this matter in the near future.
