Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Update on Sláintecare Reforms

Mr. Dean Sullivan:

There is a comprehensive programme of bed construction within the community, with more than 2,000 beds planned between this year and 2026. There are an extra 500 beds to be constructed this year, 670 in 2024, a further 626 in 2025 and then 250 in 2026. As ever, there will be a balance in those beds between new and replacement beds because a lot of the existing stock is of poor quality. As far as possible, we are seeking to secure as much additionality as we can. Of the 500 new beds this year-----
