QUESTION: Councillor T. Costello

To ask the Chief Executive how many nursing homes is there within the county

REPLY:

The number of nursing homes is not a dataset which the Council maintains. It is noted however that the HSE provide information in regard to Private and Public/Voluntary Nursing Homes. Please refer to https://assets.hse.ie/media/documents/HSE_Section_40_List_192_Published.pdf for details relating to private and voluntary nursing homes and https://assets.hse.ie/media/documents/Cost_of_Care_Public_Nursing_Homes_2023.pdf for details relating to Public Nursing Homes. It would appear from both of these documents that there are 10 private /voluntary nursing homes and 2 Public Nursing Homes within the County.
