Mr. Liam Woods:

As has previously been indicated, the contract was an emergency response to a rapidly emerging situation. It is right, as the Secretary General reflects, to think about phases. Flexibilities were deliberately included within the contract to allow for a review and a break at the end of June and further deliberation around that. From our point of view, it makes sense and we would welcome the renegotiation and working with the Private Hospitals Association around a renegotiated arrangement. It does not have to be precisely like this one but the capacity is clearly relevant as we move towards the winter.
