In terms of the private hospital capacity, does Mr. Woods have to hand figures on how much of the private hospital capacity the HSE is using at present either for Covid or non-Covid public patients? I understand that the HSE is at surge capacity and I would be interested in those figures.

On a general point, is Mr. Woods confident that the high level of care that has been provided in our hospitals over the years is being maintained or has there been compromise to the care of patients due the enormous strains and pressures that are on the system?
