Will the consultants provide the service individually or will there be an external private company? For example, if there are nine rooms in a suite and ten doctors, whom the hospital wants to use, is it through company or the consultants individually that arrangements will be made? I do not want there to be potential for a private company to control the leasing. Ms Hardiman will know that in private hospitals, doctors pay a substantial amount to own a suite. I want to make sure that is not a possibility.
