There is a proposal of which Professor Cowan will be aware regarding a bed bureau for the UL Hospitals Group. It has come from clinicians within that hospital. It would help, on the bare face of it, because we could deal with non-urgent care in a more efficient way. It would improve patient flow and it would get more out of Ennis, Nenagh and St. John's in a collaborative way, using GPs. Have the witnesses looked at that proposal? Is it a runner? Could it happen?
