Regarding the new deal, I am interested in knowing Mr. Breslin's estimate if the private hospitals are working at a reasonable capacity - 75% of normal capacity or whatever.

If an emergency was declared due to a surge, what do the Department, HSE and State bodies think about how quickly private hospitals could be converted back to deal with the surge?
