Mr. Liam Woods:

The monitoring arrangements for contracts has been in place since 2008.

There were arrangements in place prior to that date. The 1991 Act includes a requirement to manage bed designations, which is an ongoing process. The contract references a three-month window of compliance and a six-month period of adjustment. There could be a situation where outlier consultants return to the normal public-private ratio. We are speaking about 2,700 individuals practising across multiple sites.
