I thank the Minister. While we are asking questions in the context of the bed capacity review, there is not much point, as the Minister stated previously, in having the beds if we do not have blankets and mattresses. More important is the staff for these beds. Will that feed in to the assessment of the manpower requirements, training programmes and all that flows from that report; demographics of population, epidemiology requirements, the beds to support that and the staff to support the bed capacity recommendations?
