My focus was too narrow. It has a broader focus and I accept the correction. We can deal with the issue shortly.

No. 1694C is correspondence, dated 19 October 2018, received from an individual who alleges that some hospitals are putting pressure on patients to use their private health insurance in availing of publicly available services. The individual is asking the committee to deal with the issue of the principle of consent with the HSE and recommend a cooling off period in giving consent. I propose that we write to the HSE, with the individual's permission, to look for a detailed response. This is an issue about which we all know.
