Mr. Derek Tierney:
As of the middle of last year, there were 11,600 available inpatient and day beds. Acute beds, or hospital-based beds, are more expensive, because there is a blend for other ancillary functions within that rate, such as theatre expansion or other ancillary functions. Hospital-based beds are driven primarily by the ancillary function. That is why they are more expensive than community-based beds.
