Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Waiting Lists and Screening (Resumed)

Mr. Liam Woods:

There is work under way on a few sites of which the Deputy may be aware. Clonmel hospital has opened a modular build with 40 beds, which thankfully were available to come on stream early this year. Limerick University Hospital is currently building a further 100 modular beds. As I was saying earlier, as part of our winter planning we are looking at deploying modular technology to put as much capacity as we can on the ground in preparation for winter. There is an active programme and working plan for that at the moment.
