Ms Mary Day:

I was actually in St. John's on Monday. We do our monthly performance meetings and go out onto the sites and St. John's was the selected site. That development is under review. We have spoken to the CEO in the UL Hospitals Group as well, and there is support for it. We are looking again with the estates lead at different connotations around that. There is also a replacement piece there as well, because as the Senator can appreciate, St John's is a very old hospital. The bed stock is not first class, so there is a replacement piece that is more important.

Then there is the additionality and the workflow in St John's. I would like to add, as well, that the local injuries unit there is the second busiest in the country and it is seeing huge numbers of patients. The flows between St. John's and the UL Hospitals Group is actually very positive and the relationship there is very positive. It is a good, collaborative example of how that hospital is taking activity away.
