I thank the Deputy. There are a number of questions there that are specifically for the south-south west group. I will first put the general questions to the other witnesses and will then come back to the south-south west witnesses for the specifics. The first of the general questions relates to income targets and what happens when a hospital falls short financially. The other general questions were around bed capacity and how many currently closed beds that could be opened if there was additional staff, around recruitment within the group and on information technology. I ask that the other groups respond to those issues first. We shall start with the midland group.
