It was said that individual hospitals which did not meet outpatient timelines could have a cut in funding as a penalty. I am not going to name individual hospitals but, if this gets worse and hospitals do not get this money but receive the penalty, how does Mr. O'Brien square those two things up? The hospitals lose funding as a result of an issue that is not their problem and yet they face a cut for not doing their job.
