I asked for your view on where they might be in terms of hospitals distribution. In 2007, PA Consulting Group recommended a form of integration. Clearly, that did not happen. In the intervening time there appears to have been a drop-off in the number of beds counted. Is that explained by a change in the methodology of counting? Are the beds still where they were and covered in dust with no one available to make them function?
