My next question is on three facilities which the HSE has in Cork. Mallow General Hospital is to have 48 beds for run-of-the-mill patient care and 40 rooms have been built. I have received a letter from the chief executive of the South/South West Hospital Group this week. There seems to be no plan for what the 40 rooms will be used for. The other two facilities in Cork are Heather House, which is to have an extra 60 beds, and a facility in Blarney which was previously a hotel and has been converted for 50 beds. What is the timescale for all of these to be put in place and up and running?
