I want to ask our witnesses if they might like to share with us their own concerns and opinions in regard to overcrowding in accident and emergency, A&E, units throughout the country. Some A&Es seem to cope with it well, others not so well. I wish to ask the same in regard to long waiting lists. Apart from the staff there must be a link somewhere, for example looking at the private health service and the public health service and the waiting lists that accrued to each. Have they any opinion?
