Professor Brian Lenehan:

I would be delighted to answer that. We have outlined as best we can the current capacity challenges we have. Once we get agreement on the delivery of them, the next thing we need to do is look at the future capacity challenges. We do not want to caught behind the curve again. We need to plan strategically and develop our strategy collaboratively with all the stakeholders. We should not forget we are moving into a more integrated system and all of the capacity cannot just be about UHL. It is also about our community capacity, our rehab facilities, our model 1 hospitals and our community nursing homes. It is the total capacity in the region we need to look at and take a strategic view on. We have clearly outlined what we need now and in the short to medium-term future to deliver for the healthcare needs of the patients of the region.
