Mr. Jim Breslin:

I thank the Deputy for his question. On the activity that is currently under way in private hospitals, I wish to place on the record that 6,646 inpatient discharges have taken place. There have been 21,350 day cases, which might include chemotherapy, 26,386 diagnostic procedures, and 15,862 outpatient procedures. I expect all of those figures to increase as we go through this.
