It would be helpful, and Mr. Gloster may not be able to give it to me this morning, if we got a comparison of the number of public beds being used throughout the country in 2019 and the number of public beds available now in public nursing homes, and the staff ratio. This is relevant when we are speaking about an embargo. Crucial services that may need additional staff are prevented from getting them and meanwhile we are not getting an efficient use of personnel in other facilities.
