Vol. 435 No. 1

Written Answers. - County Louth Private Nursing Homes.

Dermot Ahern

Ceist:

175 Mr. D. Ahern asked the Minister for Health the number of private nursing beds in County Louth; the manner in which this compares with those for other like counties; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

My Department has been advised by the North-Eastern Health Board that there are 26 private nursing home beds in County Louth.

The number of private nursing home beds in any county will be influenced by the number of health board and voluntary beds for the elderly in that county. County Louth is well provided with such beds.

A comparison of the number of private nursing home beds in counties with a similar population to that of County Louth is being prepared and will be forwarded separately to the Deputy.
