Ms Mary Day:

The Reeves centre is basically a stand-alone ambulatory care surgical unit. It has four theatres and dedicated space for pre-operative care. It basically deals with a cohort of cases that are protected in respect of throughput. We are now seeing a reduction in the inpatient waiting list in the areas in question. Also, there is additional capacity that can be shared. With St. James's Hospital, initiatives on sharing capacity regarding plastic and maxillofacial vascular surgery are being considered.
