The private wing has its own entrance. It sounds like it will be lovely, if one can afford to pay for it. One way or another, we will all be paying for it. We were given an assurance that somehow the money would be recouped. Is there a separate budget within the budget for the national children's hospital, the capital spend on that, for the private wing, so that we could be assured that not just the ongoing costs but the actual cost of building it could be recouped? Do the witnesses know exactly how much it will cost, so they know exactly how much will be recouped from it?
