What is the reason the HSE has ceased counting the number of private beds in public hospitals and will the Minister make a statement on the matter? We know that since the Health (Amendment) Act 2013 the Government has brought forward a policy of quasi-private hospitals within our public hospital system, which is regressive and has contributed to the significant waiting times. Why has the HSE, as a matter of governance, stopped counting the number of beds? We deserve a full explanation on the matter.
