I note the report this morning on cuts in funding for transition beds. This is to allow people who are in acute hospital settings avail of funding to get into step-down facilities, either nursing homes or community hospitals. Is it true that the funding for the transition beds has been stopped? This will cause further delays or further issues in relation to acute hospitals. Has the funding dried up? Is there an instruction from the HSE to stop any funding for transition beds?
