I think we have to take some measures now. For example, on giving away priority access beds in long-term care facilities because of normal attrition, if we don't look at that and say that in the coming years we will still need a basic minimum of beds in these facilities, those beds won't be there. There is action that has to be taken now to guarantee that access later on. Even if those beds are not filled right now, that's not a problem; if we have reserved those beds for future use, then at least we have put a marker on the system.
