Mr. Cowen Mr. Cowen
Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Cowen): I propose to take Questions Nos. 85, 101, 554, 578, 635 and 636 together.

Details of the number of bed closures and resulting bed days lost in December 1998, for 1998 as a whole, and associated with nursing [156] shortages in 1998 are set out in the following tables. The corresponding figures for the month of January 1999 are not yet available. In considering the delivery of service in the acute hospital sector, it is appropriate to examine the overall level of service provided in the sector rather than to simply focus on the number of beds available at any given time. This reflects major changes that have been taking place in medical practice, resulting in reduced average in-patients lengths of stay, a continuing shift in the delivery of care from an in-patient to day case basis and the increasing provision of treatment at out-patient level. In developing and delivering service plans, the implementation of an appropriate mix between in-patients, day case and out-patient care is a major consideration for local management in seeking to maximise overall activity. As part of this process, activity in the acute hospital sector is planned over a 12 month period having regard to anticipated levels of emergency admissions and the overall resources available. In achieving the activity targets set out in the annual service plan, temporary bed closures would form a part of the normal bed management function performed by local management as part of their efforts to optimise the overall activity delivered within the resources available. They also, of course, facilitate staff annual leave, refurbishment works and the scaling down of elective activity at times of low demand such as the high summer period and at Christmas. I am confident however that, given the level of increased funds I have made available to the acute hospital sector this year over last year, the level of temporary bed closures will be kept to a minimum.

Total discharges, both in-patient and day case, in the acute hospital system for the period January to October 1998 were 676,635 which represents an increase of 3 per cent over the same period in 1997. In other words, irrespective of any temporary bed closures that occurred during that time, over 3 per cent more patients received treatment in our acute hospitals. Within this overall increase, there was an increase of almost 1 per cent in the number of patients treated at inpatient level and an increase of just over 12 per cent in the number of patients treated on a day case basis. This marked shift towards the increased provision of treatment on a day care basis underlines the inappropriateness of available bed numbers as an accurate measure of what is happening in the acute hospital sector. It is in this context that the performance of acute hospitals in 1998 should be judged. In agreeing service plans for 1999 with agencies in the acute hospital sector, my fundamental concern is to ensure that they will again deliver a level of service to patients commensurate with the funding being provided to them. In relation to bed closures as a direct result of nursing shortages, the figures provided indicate that a total of 4,738 bed days were lost during 1998, representing a monthly average of 22 beds nationally or 0.18 per cent of the total [157] bed complement. It is evident that the impact of nursing shortages is mainly concentrated in the Dublin area and is having some limited impact on the ability to perform elective work in the main hospitals affected. While the recruitment of nurses is primarily a matter for individual [158] employers, in response to the current situation, the Health Service Employers' Agency, HSEA, has established a task force to examine the full nature of the difficulties and to make recommendations on appropriate action.
