Mr. Liam Woods:

They are not directly connected. The Deputy's point is well made. It is a priority for the HSE to recommence screening services but they are not tied into the hospital arrangement. There are other clinical priorities in respect of the return of screening. Our chief clinical officer has addressed these previously. Our priority is to make sure that it is safe to resume screening services but this is not tied into the private hospital arrangement. That is about planning services in the new Covid environment. The return of screening services is a priority for us.
