Mr. Derek Tierney:
Community beds are a mix of what the private sector contributes and what we build publicly. Currently, we are at approximately 31,000. Our investment is around refurbishing or keeping beds to standard, which means avoiding bed closure. The challenge ahead of us in how we add additional stock. We started a policy review of how we could do that. It will mean involving the private sector as a delivery partner, because we have a gap that persists.
