I will present the memorandum tomorrow. The position the Deputy has laid out is one of the core discussions. The very strong recommendation from the Sláintecare programme office and the team that has done the work is that these hospitals should be day case facilities. There is a contrary, and very reasonable, view being expressed by some in the clinical community that they should offer inpatient care as well. We are looking at both options at the moment.
