I do not share this confidence either. We could have a severe winter, bad flu or an outbreak of the winter vomiting bug. These events happen and need to be planned for. I am not convinced we have heard any real cogent credible plan which ring-fences the number of beds needed for people with cystic fibrosis. This has been a very waffly exercise. I have not been served so much waffle since I was at the breakfast buffet at a Holiday Inn in Florida.
