Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Update on Sláintecare

Mr. Dean Sullivan:

My understanding is that there are plans to expand bed capacity within Limerick over the coming months through a modular capital build, which will get that additional capacity on the ground much more quickly than would otherwise have been the case. More generally, as we have said a few times today and I mentioned in response to Deputy Cullinane's question about beds, there will be a very significant step change increase in beds across the system, including Limerick, with an increase of over 1,000 permanently funded beds over the next 12 to 18 months.
