To ask the Minister for Health the progress that has been made to reintroduce the beds at the community hospital of the Assumption Thurles; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [55320/12]

As this is a service matter it has been referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply. However, I would like to advise the Deputy that the Community Hospital of the Assumption is registered with the Health Information and Quality Authority as a designated centre for older people. Service provision at the hospital must be viewed in the context of overall provision of services for older people in North Tipperary.
