I would like to thank Deputy Shortall for her questions on capacity in public nursing homes.

I have been informed by the HSE that they will require additional time to gather and relay the information with regards to the Deputy's queries.

I have asked the HSE to collate the details sought by Deputy Shortall and I will forward a comprehensive reply addressing all queries raised to the Deputy as soon as possible.
