Mr. Bernard Gloster:

It is my understanding that our dependency on the for-profit, and on the charity, voluntary and not-for-profit sector combined is probably in the area of 60%, but it is variable across the country. My colleague Ms Martina Queally is here from Wicklow where she is the chief officer in that area. Ms Queally's area, for example, is entirely dependent on a provider model whereas in another part of the country it would be very substantially HSE.
