I thank the chief executive officer, Mr. Reid, and his team for their public service. I can imagine that there is pressure and more pressure from the beginning of every day to the end. For our part, I express an appreciation of how Mr. Reid, his team and the wider HSE organisation have operated in this pressurised environment. There is no indication that pressure is going to let up. I have a question on the figures. How many people approximately are there in long-term residential care in Ireland?
