I propose to take Questions Nos. 1490 and 1491 together.

The information in this table sets out the total number of registered beds in the designated centres in question at the end of each year and to date in 2023.

All registered beds may be used to accommodate residents as set out in the Statement of Purpose. With respect to both of the above centres, all beds may be used for residents who require long-term care. However, a registered provider may choose to use some of these beds to accommodate residents other than long-term care residents. For example, the registered providers may have a number of beds allocated for residents who require respite care, end of life care or transitional care.

These are decisions registered providers make on a day to day basis and which are not required to be notified to the Chief Inspector.
