I will stop the Minister there. I welcome that, and we need as many critical care beds as we can get, but I want to bring the Minister back to the number of acute hospital beds and the advice he has been given on the anticipated shortfall or anticipated lack of acute bed capacity due to the rule of not exceeding 80% capacity and due to the social distancing guidelines. What figure has the Minister been given?
