I thank Professor Cowan and all her team for attending. There has been a lot of talk about an elective hospital. It has been suggested by some that St. John's would be the appropriate place. St. John's is part of UL Hospitals Group but has a very different ownership structure. I understand it has its own board. To what degree can UHL direct St. John's to do something or not do something to address capacity or the lack of capacity at Dooradoyle, the main UL Hospitals Group hospital in Limerick?
