I am nearly done. Delayed discharges in Kerry approached 4,000 bed nights this year. The trolley count for the same period was also around 4,000. A pilot scheme has been initiated which aims to get patients who are not in need of acute beds into community settings. What progress has been made on that, and what is the likelihood that it can be extended full time? The figures correlate, so if one problem is solved, it will go a long way to solving the other.
