Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
I wish to point out that the consultant's fee being recovered from the insurance company is actually going directly to the consultant, it does not go through the hospital. When Mr. Mulvany said that the HSE pays the consultant he is referring to the consultant's salary. The actual consultant's fee that is being invoiced goes directly from the insurance company to the consultant.
