I come from a discipline in which there is no discrimination between public and private patients. People come in the same door, sit in the same waiting room and are seen by appointment. It is a different system. We have created a system which is a little like Brexit. Once someone becomes entangled in a system, it is difficult to disentangle him or her from it, even though that is the right thing to do. Does Dr. de Buitléir see the introduction of a public-only contract as the first step in the disentanglement?
