In a minute. Many of us present sat on that committee and put a great deal of time into ways to try to deal with as many services in the primary care setting as possible, which is the whole point of Sláintecare. Is the report by PA Consulting assuming that everything will stay static, apart from demographics, or are the consultants taking into account that slowly but surely clients requiring minor treatments will be moved and have that service provided in a primary care setting and that hospitals will be for those who are very ill?
