Jimmy Devins (Sligo-North Leitrim, Fianna Fail)

My understanding is that the home care packages will be re-introduced to the National Rehabilitation Hospital over the next week to free up beds. As the Deputy stated correctly, if the beds are occupied, people cannot be allocated to them. It is important that those who are ready to be discharged from the National Rehabilitation Hospital are discharged as quickly as possible.
