Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Private Activity in Public Hospitals: Discussion
Dr. Donal de Buitléir:
I am not sure I follow the Senator. The existing cohort of consultants sees patients both privately and publicly in public hospitals. If one waved a magic wand and insisted that consultants had to see everybody equally, the capacity of the system would not change. I cannot see where the Senator gets the figure of 2 million extra appointments.
