Mr. Bernard Gloster:

Parts of the multi-annual plan have to be about getting to the end game of achieving the desired reform under Sláintecare. The elective strategy for three elective hospitals is a capacity issue that equally requires a stepped change in the planning this year to get them through the various approval stages and get them done. As I said, I do not have a magic wand. The beds I have been approved to build are the balance of the 1,228 from 2021 and 2022.
