That is the point. Is there another contradiction in that the HSE has labelled this as a day-case surgery, as something that should be targeted and promoted and resources put into treating as a day-case surgery, when only 10% of surgical activity actually agrees with this? In 90% of the procedures, the consultant does not agree with the HSE's analysis that it is a day-case surgery. Is it the HSE that is wrong rather than the consultants?
