Okay. That is excellent. With regard to the numbers on trolleys today, I have a series of questions on capacity. There are 130 people on trolleys. I assume the Minister, as he did until very recently, accepts the INMO figures and we will not have the usual ding-dong about it counting the figures one way and others counting them a different way. According to the INMO, which is usually good enough for most people, 130 people are on trolleys.

With 40% reduced capacity due to Covid-19 measures, have there been any modular builds to cope specifically with Covid? Can the Minister say where they are and what capacity they will add? I am asking about Covid specifically because he and I have taken issue with the previous Minister re-announcing stuff which had already been announced. I am aware of projects that were announced pre-Covid, as is the Minister. Will any projects specifically related to Covid provide modular capacity? How many extra beds will they add to the system?
