"Yes" is the short answer. We have already seen some services move from public hospitals to private hospitals because of capacity issues. We need to retain that facility and I also see an opportunity to secure some capacity in private hospitals for elective work, recognising the Deputy's point that there are significant waiting lists and access issues which have been exacerbated further by Covid.
