That is grand. The Minister mentioned the National Maternity Hospital at St. Vincent's Hospital in his opening statement. There are two other facilities that I understand were due to open in St. Vincent's Hospital, one of which was an eating disorder service. At the moment, there are only three adult beds in the State for eating disorders. Adults are going onto paediatric wards. They are getting their body mass index increased, being released and later going back in. It is a vicious circle. I understand the inpatient perinatal service was also due to go into St. Vincent's Hospital. Does the Minister have an update on those two services?
