Michael McNamara: I thank the three witnesses for coming here today and answering all the questions so fully. Before the next meeting, I will be in extensive contact with members to agree our work programme. Deputy Shanahan made the point that it would make sense for us to look at the extension of the private hospital contract before that extension is decided rather than afterwards, but we can only have a...

I urge him to look at what the priorities are because sometimes the priorities do not seem to make sense to ordinary people across this land.
