There are two factors that must be borne in mind - the complexity of the work done in the public system and the fact that accountability processes in the public sector are not what they should be. I believe we all accept this.

There were a couple of other questions from Deputy Joan Collins. The delegates have answered the queries about shareholders. It is information that is publicly available and which varies from hospital to hospital. Some hospitals within the private sector are more successful than other, while others are in difficulty. The delegates have touched somewhat on the issue of accountability. Was the Deputy satisfied with the reply?
