Patients are moving into that 96-bed block. The enabling works for the second 96-bed block, which is literally right beside it, are well under way and we hope for a positive planning decision on that. There are a further 66 to develop. We have to be very honest. That hospital needs more acute beds. There is no question about it. It is a constrained site. It is difficult in terms of planning. The public interest and common good is best served by the delivery of health infrastructure. It is an outsized value for the people of that region and it is an important focus as we move towards developing that site to meet patient-safety needs in the region.

In relation to the PET scanner, I believe the proposal for funding is with Mr. Tierney, so we will all look at him there.

I ask Ms Broderick to come in on some of the more local developments regarding cancer services.
