What we need is clarity on this. What has been talked about and promised by Saolta and others is overnight or inpatient beds. In Ms Magahy's presentation to the South-Southwest Hospital Group, she mentioned orthopaedics and a wide range of services. I find it hard to believe all of those could take place on a day-only basis. Realistically, will there be hip and knee replacement on a day-only basis without having an overnight stay, for example?
