Question:
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the overall average bed capacity for each hospital in each of the last five years, including 2020 to date.


Answer:
The average bed capacity in each hospital for the past five years is tabulated overleaf.
Hospital bed occupancy data can also be found on the COVID-19 Daily Dashboard at the following link: https://www.health-ni.gov.uk/articles/covid-19-daily-dashboard-updates .
However the Daily Dashboard figures are produced using different methodology and are not comparable to the figure provided in this response.
