It will be slightly different. I think also there will be bungalows in St. Stephen's Hospital. We can see the concern in terms of service provision. A large number of residents of St. Stephen's were moved to community services in places such as Fermoy and Kanturk. Now we are building on the site of St. Stephen's. We could see how there is concern about whether we are really moving towards the new policy of community-embedded places. There is also be reasonable concern that a 50-bed unit is considerable. Will there still be enough funding to develop community residences in places such as Clonakilty or Cobh which might need them?
