My Department has been in communication with the Health Service Executive in relation to the matter raised by the Deputy. Over recent months, the Executive has been undertaking significant work on the complex task of compiling, and evaluating the quality of, data on bed numbers in public acute hospitals. This work is nearing completion, which will allow the response to the Deputy to be finalised.
