Fergal Browne (Fine Gael)

I am aware of that. The Minister of State is speaking in terms of the larger picture and the provision of 235 beds when he speaks of a quicker turnover of patients and better support for them. However, there is currently no scope for a quicker transfer rate of patients at the hospital. Is it a question of extra beds or is there a bigger picture in terms of matching services? With how many additional beds can the current complement of staff cope?
