If private care is carried out in a public hospital, access is restricted by necessity. In cases where access is restricted, does Mr. Devane see it as his role to be proactive in ensuring that private care moves out of the public system? I cannot envisage any scenario where private activity being carried out in a public hospital will not interfere with public access. Let us start with the premise that this is happening. We know it is happening and Sláintecare says private care is going to move out. Presumably, Mr. Devane has a view on that.
