Intensive Care: Hospital Beds
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many critical care beds are currently in use, and how that compares to the total number available.
- Answer
-
The number of critical care beds in use changes over time, particularly since the start of the COVID-19 outbreak.
