Professor Colette Cowan:

I most certainly will not. I have no liberty with Government. I can only influence what I believe the region needs. It is a Government decision. We have not heard what the review of the elective hospitals is yet. I have not read that briefing note from the meeting to which the Deputy alluded but I may look at it. I do not know if my national colleagues want to comment on it but I actually have no influence over Government decision on it. I can only pitch.
