I hope that the next time Mr. Gunning appears before the committee he does not have to tell us that the cost has risen as I have predicted.

The brand new hospital will be state-of-the-art, which is great. Everyone is looking forward to its opening, and the facilities it will offer. The Sláintecare reforms envisage ending the practice of treating private patients in public hospitals. The hospital will be a brand spanking new public hospital. Will there be a proportion of hospital facilities, including wards, beds, resources and theatres, set aside for private healthcare?
