I thank the witnesses for being here today. How long would it take for option C to yield the desired results? What would the timeframe for developing a model 3 hospital in HSE mid-west look like? What specific methods would be used to expand capacity on the Dooradoyle site at UHL? If options A and B were to be chosen, how long would these options be able to provide enough inpatient beds for to match the demand in the short term and how long would it take for options A or B to be implemented? Given that options A and B have relatively similar timeframes and results, what would the benefits and drawbacks of each option be?
