I would imagine that is the same across a lot of programmes, so budget 2024 will have an impact on the delivery of services and improving all those clinical programmes and national strategies.

I wish to ask Mr. Watt about these 1,500 rapid-build beds we had a lengthy discussion on with the Minister. I raised it with Mr. Gloster and Mr. Watt a number of times. Additional capital might come from the windfall allocation from capital, but we were led to believe this would be very rapid and we would have 700 of those in 2024. How many of those 1,500 beds the Minister announced a number of times does Mr. Watt see opening in 2024?
