Yes, and, as it stands, the Saolta healthcare group has no plans for inpatient beds in Galway. Governments often get blamed, of course, in respect of funding, but funding is not available unless plans are put forward and progressed. There are effectively no plans by Saolta for inpatient beds at UHG. They were not even provided under the winter plan. There is no physical space and there are still no plans.
