Is there an increased number of applications from consultants at Mr. Woods's committee to move from a B contract to a C contract? If so, is it not an immediate undermining of the long-term goal and strategy of the Sláintecare report which is aimed primarily at disentangling public and private care? I do not know for how long a C contract is awarded. If we are changing B contracts to C contracts, are we undermining the public element of consultants' obligations?
