Everybody from the patient to the staff deserves a safe space. There is an expansion plan for St. Camillus's community hospital. I had experience recently with a number of people waiting to get in there. The rehabilitation hospital in Dublin was completed in 2020. Are there plans for more beds in that area because I can see there is far more demand for beds? I know people waiting for beds in Dublin and St. Camillus's. I understand that the new 25 beds in St. Camillus's will be in 2026 but that they will be more nursing home beds. Could Mr. Gloster comment on that?
