Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

Planning for Inclusive Communities: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Brian Higgins:

Yes. In CHO 6, we already have the second level. We have CHO 6 and CHO 7 within the programme. We have 12 beds in the Royal Hospital Donnybrook and we have 15 beds in Peamount Healthcare. They are the step-down for that. Our intention would be to expand the capacity of those beds in those areas. We are in active negotiation with our colleagues across the hospital groups and the CHOs in Cork and Kerry and in Galway.
