Mr. Pat Healy:
As we are doing the redevelopment, details of which we have given to the committee, there are some new beds in that. If we were redeveloping a 100-bed unit we might open 110 beds, but there are not significant plans for 100-bed units or the like. The last public facility we opened was in Mount Carmel here in Dublin, which is not in the fair deal scheme. It is a short-stay, transitional care facility. However, with the capital programme we have to 2021, we are focused on bringing our own facilities up to standard in order that we will be compliant with HIQA's standards by then.
