A bigger population. It does not matter. We need to resource and advance Limerick more. We have to. It does need more capacity in terms of personnel, facilities, beds and so forth. The enhanced community care side of it is very important also so that we can reduce the number of people presenting who do not need to go to accident and emergency departments. It is very important they have proper, good-quality care at different sites and different centres.
