I again welcome the news about the daycare elective care procedures based on the Tallaght model that will be rolled out across the country. What was unique about the Tallaght model was that it was off campus and off site. Unfortunately, in many cases, when there is pressure with beds, it is usually the daycare beds that are the first to go. With that model, given the fact it was outside of Tallaght, it was much more difficult to close it down. I do not know if that is a recommendation for the others that are coming through. I do not necessarily mean it should be off campus, but if it can be done, it seems to have worked in this-----
