Ms Angela Fitzgerald:
At the moment, what we have looked at is that to try to get parity with other hospitals, UHL needs about 220 beds. The beds that have come on stream and the balance of 36 beds will get us some of the way there. The other 96 beds that are planned would give parity if they were coming now.
