Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

Chairman, can I make an observation in relation to that? I would also have a concern at this kind of movement from procedures that really should be categorised and treated and monitored as outpatient attendances and, if one likes, transferring them into the admissions side. It has a potentially distorting effect on the waiting lists for both sides as well. I would be quite concerned that there would be proper categorisation of the procedures. It is something I have recommended as needing to be addressed by the HSE.
