The Government states the deal is ending but in the eventuality of another surge, as we know is extremely likely, it is likely private hospitals might be needed again to provide capacity. How has the engagement of the organisation been with the Department of Health on the matter? Does the witness have recommendations, although we should be more prepared now than we were? Are provisions in place in the event of another surge so we can continue the general operation of services like BreastCheck, for example? We should not be surprised in the same way if there is a resurgence of the coronavirus. Have a system been put in place whereby normal service like BreastCheck can be continued?
