The Deputy's question of 17 October last was referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply. In their reply to the Deputy, the Executive indicated that additional bed capacity would become available in March 2008.

Operational responsibility for the management and delivery of health and personal social services was assigned to the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004 and funding for all health services has been provided as part of its overall vote. The Executive, therefore, is the appropriate body to consider the particular matter raised by the Deputy. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
