Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Use of Private Hospitals (Resumed)
Mr. Jim Breslin:
We will work to a mandate the Government has provided to us, namely, that we will seek to put a retainer in place for capacity to surge if those facilities are needed and that we will put arrangements in place for particular cohorts of patients to be treated, but it will not require 100% of the facilities of the private hospitals. That is the policy mandate we have been given.
