Okay. That is fine. There are protocols. I have emailed St. Vincent's University Hospital every day for two months for someone who is in the same position waiting for a bed. The pre-op assessment was carried out on 29 November and a final assessment with a scan was done in December, but no bed has been made available since then. Where is the protocol that changes what happened in 2017 to prevent this patient - the constituent I represent - from getting a bed? What is going wrong there? What should be happening there? From the individual's perspective, it is serious that she is getting no response from St. Vincent's University Hospital in relation to a bed other than the same email coming back every day.
