Mr. Jim Ryan:

In some ways, it is a better use of our existing resource. Professor Doody chairs a group every Tuesday morning that is triaging all the referrals into the four units. We have a national system whereby, every Tuesday morning, we have, to use the jargon, a bed meeting. Essentially, it is triaging any referrals for inpatients that would be made during the week to any of the four units.

Each of the four units have their individualised regional areas they would be referring into but if there is a situation where there is no bed available in that unit it then can become available for the other three units to see if it is more appropriate. Dr. Doody knows this day in and day out.
