Ms Mary Day:

With regard to the elective hospitals, it has gone into the policy and it is Government decision regarding those units. However, I will go back to how we reorganise capacity in the region. Dr. O'Connor made a good point in his last comment regarding having the right capacity to meet the need. There is an element of looking at scheduled care facilities, repurposing, looking at additional theatres and how we repurpose bed stocks or create the surgical care hubs we require. That is an area we would be responsible for planning.
