I welcome the delegates and thank them for their updates. I will start with Ms Hardiman and Children's Health Ireland. I thank her for the information she has given. I would like to get her steer on capacity. We are all acutely aware of some of the waiting times experienced by sick children in gaining access to diagnostics, consultant assessments and surgery, where necessary. Ms Hardiman has stated that across the three children's hospitals there are 442 beds. When the reconfiguration is complete, when the three children's hospitals are shut down and we have the new national children's hospital, with the satellite centres, what will be the total number of beds?
