Mr. Bernard Gloster:
Some 1,000 have gone in and there are approximately 200 more to come. They are not funded so they are not profiled - I will be clear about that - but we have made an approach to the Department and the Minister about the possibility of 1,500 rapid-build acute hospital beds distributed across the country.
