Mr. Bernard Gloster:

Regarding capacity, it will be by the summer. We have the capacity plan for the rest of this year, and for the following year, at minimum, before the Secretary General and his team can consider the bigger medium-term picture. On capacity, the Senator mentioned money from Government and so on. As I said last week, I can bemoan the fact that the number of beds I have to build or open this year is 210, but there is not much point in me asking the Government for more if I cannot show that I can deliver the 210 I have. There has to be a focus on that first and foremost. It is the same with the money we have today. Money is always a challenge. Of course, one can always do more with more, but the issue is what we are doing with what we have. That will all contribute. Beyond the 200 beds, the Department, to be fair, is considering significant opportunities between now and the construction of the three elective hospitals regarding what we can do with bed capacity across the country and with modern build technology. That is where the requirement for the Government's support in providing funding will become more significant.
