Text

I thank the Minister for his response. He will be aware — he has touched on it — that, at any time, between 500 and 600 beds are occupied by patients who have been deemed fit for discharge. Does the Minister agree that the delivery of care packages is key to addressing the bed shortage in our hospitals?
