I propose to take Questions Nos. 581 and 582 together.
As this is a service matter, both questions have been referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply. However, I would like to advise the Deputy that neither the Department nor the Executive routinely collates information on the number of vacant beds in the private nursing home sector.
