A number of private hospitals are not connected to the HSE. Has there been any engagement with the private hospitals on what they are doing differently in order to reduce claims on their side? Obviously, they have claims as well. The big difference there is that none of them are now doing maternity. Unfortunately, because of the level of insurance, the last two that were ended up having to close down their maternity units. In relation to medicine generally, operations etc., has there been engagement with the private hospitals to see if there is anything the HSE could learn from how they are managing adverse incidents?
