The reason there is no figure today is that we are learning very quickly about this. On the Deputy's question, when he and I learned about this first, the figure we were both given was that the hospitals could not operate at more than 80%. That was based on a variety of advices from the HPSC, including the 2 m distancing. Over the last weeks and through the next few weeks a lot of detailed work is going on, which is why we do not have a figure yet.
