Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Use of Private Hospitals (Resumed)
Mr. Jim Breslin:
Yes. We are paying actual costs. That is not me saying more activity could not have been pushed through and that it would not have been worthwhile. We were all looking to do that. However, what we are actually paying is the actual cost incurred. If a lower cost is incurred due to less activity, we pay less money across.
