Mr. Robert Watt:

Yes, absolutely. One of the key elements would be a greater utilisation of the facilities available, including theatre capacity, diagnostics and so on. That is absolutely a part of it. The equipment is expensive and is a fixed cost and utilising it obviously has benefits. From our perspective, the motivation behind the elements of the contract relating to working hours is to have a system that works better for patients. Our colleagues in the HSE will have a task in the period ahead, depending on what happens with the representative bodies, to implement the contract and to see it as an enabler that can change the way the health system operates.
