We have been hearing from Ministers, heads of the HSE and Secretaries General for years that they do not have a magic wand. Nobody expects Mr. Gloster to have a magic wand. What people expect is that hospitals are properly equipped and have the bed capacity they need. It is not beyond us to put in the capacity. Magic wands are in nobody's gift but we can plan and we can put in the capacity.
