I propose to take Questions Nos. 351, 368 and 369 together.
There is no one capital or revenue cost for providing additional beds. The cost is dependent on the nature of the additional bed, the clinical speciality and where the additional beds will be provided (an existing hospital, an extension to an existing hospital or the development of a new hospital).
As the Health Service Executive is responsible for the delivery of health services, I have asked the HSE to respond directly to you.
