Mr. Jim Breslin:

I do think it depends on the timeframe we are looking at. We talked earlier about the purchase of a hospital, if one has a year or two. We had days at the start of this arrangement and the quickest and easiest way was by agreement with the private hospitals, which thankfully we got and they came forward on that. The other options such as purchase, nationalisation and so on bring one into a much more convoluted policy development and legal process. Mr. Woods has talked about the bespoke solutions that are available at different sites in the public system, which we have been pursuing in parallel with this. I will not commit to making an offer on a building on the Merrion Road but each hospital is looking at its ability to surge and introduce new capacity as part of this.
