Ms Colette Cowan:

There are two questions there around the emergency department. All patients are asked if they have private insurance or a medical card. It is part of the normal queries that are made of any patient who comes into the hospital setting. There are clear bed designations. How much of each hospital can be designated as private is laid down through VHI and other private sector. Each hospital is different and it is laid down in a bed mapping process. That is in place in all groups.
