Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Implementation of Sláintecare Reforms: Department of Health and HSE

We have, yes. We have a good idea. That is a function of the relative productivity of a private hospital versus a public hospital. It depends on the nature of the specialities. Orthopaedics is a good example. In a given day, for the cost of the staff and the theatre cost, there are figures on how many procedures are done in a public hospital compared with a private hospital.
