As one of the country's largest acute\ud
hospitals, Beaumont continues to\ud
operate at consistently dose to\ud
maximum capacity and. indeed, often\ud
above that level. It provided close to a\ud
quarter of a million bed days last year,\ud
some 13,000 theatre procedures,\ud
140,000 radiology examinations and\ud
catered for approximately 160,000 outpatient\ud
attendances and day cases.\ud
In addition to meeting the needs of a\ud
large population in North Dublin and its\ud
environs Beaumont also provides wider\ud
regional specialities and is the tertiary\ud
referral centre for a number of\ud
important national specialities. Donal O'Shea. Chairman
