135. Deputy John Brassil asked the Minister for Health the occupancy rate for community beds for each of the hospitals at Tralee, Listowel, Killarney, Dingle and Caherciveen community hospitals in each of the years 2017, 2018 and to date in 2019; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As this is a service matter I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.
