A lot could be learned from the private sector in that regard. I refer to the Sports Surgery Clinic in Santry, for example, which motors through waiting lists very quickly. It would be great if we could do the same.

On the Dublin hospital, the Sláintecare committee modelled this on what had been done in Edinburgh, where NHS Scotland purchased a private hospital. Has that been considered at all, in terms of speed and potentially cost?
