Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

Many ICU beds across the country are occupied because we want them to be in terms of ongoing non-Covid treatments. That is part of the overall plan in terms of the resumption of non-Covid services in our health system and that will continue.
In respect of specific hospital allocation and provision, in the first instance, the allocation and prioritisation of resources is a matter for the Health Service Executive. I will relay the Deputy's question back to the HSE although I am not sure whether he has engaged with the HSE locally on that matter.
