Financial Statements - National Treatment Purchase Fund (3 Jul 2025) Catherine Connolly: I was asking about private patients and the failure to collect the insurance, and the seriousness of that concept of having children as private patients.

What is the advantage for the child? Surely all children are treated the same.
