Dr. Brian Turner:

I would. That raises the question of what the natural level of demand for private health insurance is. If the public system and the private system were reasonably comparable in waiting times and services, how many people would choose to have private health insurance and open up the access to additional hospitals? I do not know the answer to that question. At the moment, there is so much treatment of private patients taking place in public hospitals that if that was taken out of public hospitals as a first step, there would be plenty to keep the private hospital sector going. As the demand for private health insurance winds down, we are getting to a scenario of how much is sustainable. I do not have a simple answer to that.
