Mr. Ian Carter:

I will answer the specific question. There is nothing new about private patient income generation for all hospitals. Hospitals have a blend of patients, including those who come in privately and publicly. Part of the construct for having money to spend each year is, to all intents and purposes, made up of a block grant, which is the larger amount. On top of that, we have to collect income from our private patients. That is nothing new.

Perhaps the issue about the stretch targets, as Deputy O'Reilly suggested, is better addressed by Mr. Woods.
