Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Winter Preparedness in the Hospital System: Discussion

Ms Sandra Broderick:

Owing to the delayed transfer challenges in Tallaght and the trolley numbers, together with Ms Day we have delivered 75 additional sub-acute beds that are now available for use, so that should start to begin to have an impact on the challenges at the front door and, equally, the challenges at the backdoor. It is a huge investment for Tallaght. Additionally, St. James's has access to 76 beds as well in the community, again, with the aim of reducing the pressure on the front door.
