Mr. Paul Lemass:

There is a very large number of AHBs in the landscape at the moment. In truth, it is the bigger ones that drive the growth agenda. Of the ones that come looking for funding, 15 to 20 of those would probably take the lion's share of any funding available. Many of the smaller AHBs do not have any particular growth or development plans and are just managing the stock that they have, so it is likely that the large ones will be the most active on this particular agenda item.
