Hon ANDREW LITTLE: As I've just said, the hospitals can increase their total ICU- and HDU-level care capacity to between 320 and 340 beds. They can, by deferring or delaying or cancelling other hospital-level care, increase that to up to 550 beds. That is the advice of DHBs to the Ministry of Health, and that has also been overseen by intensive care specialists who have accepted that it is possible to make those conversions to increase that capacity to provide the care that is needed for those who need it in response to COVID-19.
