Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

We publish a whole suite of results on all 48 hospitals every two or three months in what is called our MDR. It is important to notice that those 16 hospitals tend to be the bigger hospitals, barring Galway and Cork CUH. It includes the five or six very big hospitals, the three maternity-only hospitals other than Limerick and Cork and some other smaller elective hospitals. They are not necessarily a like-for-like comparison with the balance of the 33 hospitals. The vast bulk of the level four hospitals are included in that, which includes the big urban centre hospitals barring Limerick, Cork and Galway.
