I think a number of Members concentrated on the fact that we have 2,807 GPs and we need 6,000 by 2028, in six years' time. From what we have heard this morning, unless a plan is put in place, we will hardly reach that and it is clear, even with the best will in the world, that it would be very difficult to reach that plan. There were a number of questions about the capacity of the current system. Dr. Farrell, did you say that the current capacity would be 350, maximum, within the system?
