Ms Angela Fitzgerald:

There are a couple of things in what the Deputy said. The reality is we have a predominantly private system of care. That was a policy decision made because private sector can respond more quickly to building, extending and making care available. There are questions to be asked when there is that reliance about what else is needed in the regulatory framework, and we have talked about that. In our experience, and the data here shows this, it is not private versus public. It is about the ownership, management, leadership and commitment of individual providers and teams to delivering care. It is important we do not demonise the private system but it is also important we look at the corporate obligations. We have talked about that.
