I listened to what other speakers, in particular Senator O'Meara, had to say on the downgrading and closing of hospital beds. This report is not about bed closures or downgrading. On the contrary, it is about better utilisation of our hospitals and beds, freeing up beds used by people who do not need them. People have a vision of their local hospital but that vision is not always the reality. That is something with which, hands on heart, we can all agree. It was a breath of fresh air to listen to Senator Henry's contribution. She put her finger on the point when she said we should stop using the word "downgrading" and stigmatising places and should talk things up. The Hanly report takes into account the position of acute hospitals and nobody knows that better than somebody like Senator Henry. While I may not have agreed with other things she said on that matter I say, well done.
