I thank Professor Nolan and apologise for cutting across him. As a member of NPHET, he may be able to answer a question on the deal on private hospitals. Everybody accepts it was very important to get capacity for a surge. We had Mr. Breslin in here last week and he spoke about the potential for revisiting that deal. One of the things he described was that he was bound under a mandate which the Government had described previously where there was not an opportunity for doctors who were working privately full-time to continue working in that way without signing a type A contract. I understand this contract is being revisited. Has Professor Nolan any insight into what the position will be regarding full-time private doctors in this review?
