I should possibly have added a paragraph about this, but I was busy ranting :)

The answer here is "yes, but..."; the question doesn't provide enough information to express a preference on that front. If it said "We have enough money to either keep all the existing [number of] facilities open, but only provide [list of services] at them, or else to provide [longer list of services] at [a smaller number of] facilities. Which option would be better?" that would be fine. But the question as asked is on the same level as "which is preferable, chocolate or comedy?"
