To follow up on that, I have been trying to get access to both the April cost provided by the private hospitals, and a full breakdown of the costs from the Government. They are refusing to give me any of the figures, which makes it very difficult for us, as public representatives, and the public in general to make a decision on whether or not it is good value for money because we do not have any figures to go on. Would Mr. Varley agree we need to have more transparency in terms of the costs, the deal, etc., so that people can make an informed decision about it?
