Mr. Liam Woods:

I will address the Deputy's question.

In terms of monitoring the work being done in private hospitals, the HSE with the support of the NTPF has put in a system for precisely that purpose. One of our early objectives was to record the work that was taking place. We have enabled and supported that with the implementation of a system. Were there to be other system requirements as we move this forward, of course we will address those in dialogue about the arrangements post-June.
