I will be very brief. I appreciate the honesty shown on the issue of beds. I am delighted with the honesty shown on the issue of accountability because it has come up over and over again. In the past ten years have the delegates seen a lot more demands on private hospitals? Based on the current system, do they think there will be a demand for a lot more private hospitals? Is it a reflection on the fact that the public health service is not working?
