I am glad the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, is here. We have engaged on the floor of the House on public nursing home beds. She may recall I was delighted that she called for an audit of public nursing home beds last year. I am trying to get a copy of that audit. I think the Minister of State failed to get a copy of it. I have now failed to get a copy. What I have found out, and I thank the Minister of State for the answers, is that in the relevant CHO area there are 591 beds, 91 of which are closed. Taking both the city and county of Galway, there are 256 beds, of which 50 are closed. In a situation where we have waiting lists, I cannot get information. The Minister of State has rightly said that we need to plan for future. To change the relationship between public and private, we need that essential information.

I thank the Deputy for the question. I have engaged with her on this issue. The most recent update I have, and my office may have got back to her, is that she will have to request the information from the HSE in person.

I did. The HSE said that I cannot get it and that I have to ask specific questions. It is an internal document.

It is an internal document but I was able to facilitate the Deputy with the details for her area of Galway, which the Minister, Deputy Stephen Donnelly, just told me. I know the reason she wants the document. It is a very important document. We want to continue to make sure that we have HSE beds open. We do not want to see any more of them closed. The reason for the closures at present relates to safe staffing issues, but we are pushing the whole time to have any HSE beds open.
