Mr. Robert Watt:
A report compiled in 2018 had an increase in the number of beds. I think 3,500 was the number we were to get to and we have increased by approximately 1,000. Plans are now in train for a further 1,200 to 1,300 beds. They are at different stages of being in construction, confirmed and so on.
