7. Deputy Gino Kenny asked the Minister for Health if he is aware that an organisation (details supplied) stated that over 604 patients were treated without beds in Irish hospitals on the Wednesday after the June bank holiday and that this level of overcrowding, which is now consistent and continuing into the summer, at a time when winter respiratory infections are not circulating, indicates that the system of hospital avoidance is not effective and that, at a minimum, the HSE must significantly increase the number of acute hospital beds before year-end; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
