I want to add something. Perhaps a comment might be forthcoming. I was leafing through some stuff here and some notes I had. According to the Irish Medical Times, the average length of stay in this State had fallen from 7.8 days to 5.5 days. How would there be a difference? Much of what was said in the last session was predicated on us being an outlier in respect of the average length of stay. However, it seems to me that we are not. If that forms a part of the report, or if some of what has been recommended hinges on that, perhaps the witnesses can explain because the figures I have to hand indicate that we have reduced our length of stay.
