Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Private Activity in Public Hospitals: Discussion
Stephen Donnelly (Wicklow, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
It seems from the report that removing private care from public hospitals on the basis that people are still going in through the emergency department is not going to free up capacity. One is going to have the same number of patients in the hospital, but one has less money to treat them. One could argue that it is going to reduce capacity.
