Ms Laura Magahy:

My view is to implement whatever Government decides. Government will be given a memo on de Buitléir and if Government decides to implement it, we will make sure it is implemented. It is a foundational piece of Sláintecare and was very much part of what the original objectives were about - the separation of private from public is part of what was originally mooted but it is a Government decision to make. It is critical that it is made because if we are going to be building elective hospitals, we need a decision. That is all I would say.
