As set out in the Sláintecare Action Plan 2019, the Department of Health is committed to fostering the support of citizens and stakeholders in the Sláintecare reform process, consulting them about its delivery, and informing them about progress through engagement and open reporting. In line with this commitment, my Department publishes an Open Beds Report on its website each month, which provides the latest figures received from the HSE for the numbers of inpatient beds and day case beds/places.
According to provisional data provided by the HSE Acute Business Information Unit, there were an average of 10,961 inpatient beds and 2,247 day case beds/places available nationally between January and June 2019.
In relation to the particular data requested, I have asked the HSE to respond to the Deputy directly.
