Mr. Bernard Gloster:

On the capital side, the budget that has been the subject of commentary in the past two weeks is the revenue budget. The capital budget is yet to be finalised, but I understand it will be higher next year than it was this year. I have to wait to see what the capital profile will be.

The Senator will recall from a previous appearance before this committee that I proposed to the Department, which, to be fair, approved it without a second thought, that we would use the efficiency when building the first 96-bed unit to put in the foundation and first-floor shell for a second 96-bed unit. That second unit still has to be approved by the Government and if it is, I presume there will be an allocation in the capital plan coming forward for it. I cannot say what that is at this point.
