To ask the Minister for Health (a) whether the Ministry has data on the expected increase in the number of private hospital bed capacity in the next five years and, if so, what is the number; and (b) whether there are any plans to call for the tender of additional hospitals to supplement the projected increase in public hospital bed capacity.

 

 

Answer

 

 

1          MOH does not have the projected capacity of private hospitals as they are driven by commercial and other considerations.
