Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare

Health Service Reform: Private Hospitals Association

9:00 am

Mr. Simon Nugent:

In the event that we provide services for the public system, obviously those services are costed and priced very carefully and rationally. They would be closely examined, for example, by a body such as the National Treatment Purchase Fund if it is commissioning care. On a case by case basis, the procurer will collect the information it needs but that is different from the association gathering data.
