Question:198. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to the ability of St Brigid’s Nursing Home, Crooksling, County Dublin to accommodate up to 120 patients; that such numbers have been accommodated there in the past and that with very little upgrading and very little cost the same capacity remains; if he will ensure that Health Information Quality Authority reports and guidelines in respect of safety standards are not used as a self-fulfilling prophecy towards reduction of patients capacity; if he will further ensure the continued provision of adequate resources to maximise the capability of the nursing home with adequate staff in the future [57328/12]
