Mr. Pat Healy:

To be factually correct, the report identified the total need, not just public beds. As a result, capital investment was identified for a range of public beds. As the director general said, the scheme also provides for people to supply private beds. The report identified the total need across the country, including the need for additional public beds in certain locations.

What we have included in the report today is the capital investment of €500 million that is identified to maintain the current stock.
