Projections are that by 2040 three and a half thousand additional beds will be required.

More details

Looking towards the projected increase in hospital activity by 2040, if adequate community care is not in place, we estimate that an extra 2,300 hospital doctors and 17,000 hospital nurses would be required to maintain current staff to patient ratios. This would be excess requirements over and above current recruitment.
