Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

HSE National Service Plan 2023: Discussion

Mr. Damien McCallion:

In total, under the programme, as I was saying earlier, 970 beds were added over the last number of years under the additional bed capacity programme. Another 209 are planned this year. There is a balance of 40 beds, give or take, where there are difficulties on the sites. We are looking at alternatives for how we might provide those beds. I should say those are acute medical beds. There are also critical care beds and community beds, which are separate.
