Mr. Liam Woods:

As the opening statements indicated, the decision of NPHET was effective up until 5 May, and from that time we have been growing throughput in the private hospitals significantly. At this stage, in terms of day care, it is in fact at 150% occupancy, so that is 1.5 patients per day, and in terms of inpatient beds it is at 50% occupancy. We intend to continue to grow that, and as part of the dialogue around any new arrangement, we would look to ensure continuity in relation to that. There is a clear intent to get value in the month of June. We will also remain alert to the trends that emerge in terms of the R-nought statistic as we move into the following weeks, and hopefully that remains where it is at a very low level. We need, however, to be alert to the fact that should the data move it will place significant demand on the acute system again.
