Mr. John McCarthy:

Sorry, Deputy; please allow me to go back, as I did not include the voluntary bodies. The figure is closer to 1,900 units. In the local authority programme, the number of new builds and regeneration units, which are equivalent to new builds, was approximately 460, and there were slightly more than 200 units on the voluntary side, which probably were largely new builds.
