Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
HSE Winter Plan 2022-2023: HSE
Mr. Damien McCallion:
We have not broken it out but, in total, across both aspects, there are 361 public intermediate care beds through various funding streams, including the national service plan and the winter plan, and more than 650 private intermediary care beds. Then there is separate funding provided to support sites. We referred to Waterford, and this is one of the areas where officials have worked well with the private sector in utilising those beds to assist discharge of patients.
