Mr. Liam Woods:

The Deputy has reflected well on our capacity constraints. One of the key challenges is outpatients. It would be staff who are working in those areas but are now being afforded the opportunity to work in a capacity that may have been constrained at some level in the public hospital in which they are working. With regard to glaucoma, the proposal from the Mater foresees that up to 2,000 patients could be seen before the end of October.
