Some health centres have been lying empty for a while. They could not be used as a house tomorrow but they would be suitable for residential accommodation. There is one in Errill, and there are villages like that throughout the country. There are properties that could be used and converted in my own area. Mr. Mulvany might send me a note on that, including properties the HSE has bought but that have not yet been put to use. We are not at 300 ICU beds yet. Is the figure 280?
