On that, we have to prepare and do our job of holding the Minister to account and also put forward our alternatives, which can be quite difficult if we do not get information. I have asked the Department to come back to me with a note on how many beds were delivered over the last five years, which I would imagine should be fairly easy to get. How many beds were delivered and what was the cost of delivering those beds? That information was requested six weeks ago and I am still waiting for an answer. I got a document that did not answer the question. That is basic information. Could the Minister make sure that note is provided to me? It is not too much to ask for. How many beds were provided in the last five years and how much did they cost, in current and capital funding? That is not a big ask and it would give us a sense of how much this will cost. Given that this has to work its way through Cabinet, I am assuming the cost has not been finalised. Is there an estimated current and capital cost for these beds?
