Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Long-term Planning in the Health Services: Discussion
2:00 am
David Cullinane (Waterford, Sinn Fein)
My point is that we cannot hold anybody to account here. We do not know what is additional or what is not. I, and I am sure every other member of this committee, will be asked about this audit, which states there are not enough beds. I will have to answer that I do not know how many additional specialist stroke beds will be delivered. I do not know how much additional funding exists. It is reasonable to ask, on foot of a report that shows we do not have enough beds, how many additional stroke beds may or will be funded, or, more important, be delivered next year.
