The other point that jumped out at me was that numbers were expected to decline. Is there an expectation that demand for services will decline in County Cork or in east Cork? I would have thought that demand was increasing in the context of a growing and an ageing population and demand would be expected to increase rather than decrease, which is why that statement jumped out at me. Ms O'Brien said that numbers were expected to decline. Was she talking about numbers at the Owenacurra centre or overall in the area?
