Ms Angela Fitzgerald:

I might make some general comments and then we will invite Mr. Egan to come in. The Deputy is absolutely right. Delayed transfers of care used to be called delayed discharges. These are effectively people who have finished their acute episode of care and, ideally, should really be going home or to another facility. We might recall the earlier discussion we had around capacity. If there are 600 beds unavailable to the acute hospital system, that is a significant number of beds and, therefore, it is about tackling that in a sustained way. There are four approaches to tackling delayed discharges or delayed transfers of care. One is that we make sure we have proper long-term care facilities. By and large, that has been growing, but so is the ageing population.
