Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare

Future of Health Care: Health Reform Alliance

9:00 am

Mr. Paul Gordon:

I would like to build on the point made by Ms Loughnane. I think there will always be a role for private insurers. People will always want that option. We need to build confidence in the public health system so that there is less reliance on private insurance. Our hope is that ten, 15 or 20 years from now, people will feel they can have confidence and pride in the public system and do not necessarily need to take out private health insurance to jump the queue.
