Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

HSE National Service Plan 2023: Discussion

Mr. Bernard Gloster:

The objective for the regional facilities is to establish four to six facilities of approximately 20 beds per 1 million people. Since 2022, 27 of those beds have been identified and are in place in Donnybrook and Peamount. As Dr. Henry said, many beds are quasi-rehabilitation beds and are referred to as such or are stroke-rehabilitation beds. In Limerick, there is a rehabilitation stroke unit in St. Camillus Community Hospital and so on. Those are being assessed this year to see how many could come up to the standard required for the 20 per 1 million head of population. We will then add the balance to those. The national top tier is in the National Rehabilitation Hospital.
