Temporary table with in a stored procedure

Question

Hi:
I am trying to create a SP with a temporary table, and getting a syntex error. Here is my code. Can someone help me on this ?
Thank you,
Dima
create or replace procedure ACCEPT."HIROC_IBC_CLAIMS"(policy_no cm_pm_interface.policy_no%type
,EXPOSURE_UNIT coverage.EXPOSURE_UNIT%type
as
begin
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE HIROC_IBC_NUMBER_OF_BEDS
POLICY_NUMBER VARCHAR2(100),
NUMBER_OF_BEDS VARCHAR2(100)
insert into HIROC_IBC_NUMBER_OF_BEDS(policy_no
,EXPOSURE_UNIT
select POLICY_NO, SUM(EXPOSURE_UNIT)
From coverage C, cm_pm_interface CIN
WHERE C.COVERAGE_PK = CIN.COVERAGE_PK (+)
AND CIN.COVG_TYPE = 'COVGCLASS'
AND CIN.COVERAGE_CODE IN ('ACUTE')
GROUP BY POLICY_NO
end HIROC_IBC_CLAIMS;

At the end I want to get a out put similar to following SELECT script. But there are many tables involved to get the data based on the maximum data value, then some other case statements in the logic etc. I am doing in smaller steps in the query rather than creating a big query. I find it is very easy to follow and debug.
(Ex: UPDATE MONTH_CLAIMS A SET NUMBER_OF_BEDS = (NUMBER_OF_BEDS - 1)
WHERE TO_DATE(POLICY_EFFECTIVE_DATE, 'DD-MM-YYYY') < TO_DATE('01-01-2010', 'DD-MM-YYYY');
--Final data set
