The HSE's reply of 29 September to the Deputy's earlier question deals with both the estimated number of dedicated beds that will be required in Cork University Hospital and the number of staff to be recruited. It also notes that the recruitment process for these posts is at an advanced stage. If the Deputy would like further information he is welcome to raise it with me or directly with the HSE specifying what additional details he requires.
