Will there be extra time in theatre? The theatre is open three and a half days a week. There are two theatres but the second is empty. Will we have it open five days a week as part of the plan?

The other issue relates to the six-bed day care unit. What is the timescale for that? We can talk and we can refer to committees but if we are back here this time next year it will not sort out the problem. Are there target dates?
