What I take away from the report is that it is possible. Without an increase in capacity and staff, waiting lists will not improve, but the changes would lead to an improvement for public patients to an extent because the system would not include people who were being fast-tracked on the same road beside them. Ultimately, as Dr. de Buitléir said, it comes down to whether there is the political will to do it. I thank Dr. de Buitléir for the report because it goes a long way towards us being able to encourage our colleagues to come along with us.
