Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare

Health Service Reform: Private Hospitals Association

9:00 am

Mr. Brian Fitzgerald:

I think it is related to the severity of the care required. Obviously, there are certain centres that have, for example, transplant units and in that context, it would not matter where the private hospital was located; they are the centres to go to. It is a severity of care issue too.
