Mr. John Pollock:

The layout has an impact in terms of the number of nurses one needs to manage and run the hospital. The workforce planning in the business case will have to be redone. There have been many changes in Temple Street hospital, Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin, and Tallaght hospital, as a result of the Haddington Road agreement and the loss of staff. All the relevant information will have to be gathered again from the hospitals and recast into the new design, which will have a different layout. Basically, not all the value is transferred. A new business case and new workforce planning need to be done.
