I am trying to convert private beds to public use. Co-location has been very successful in Australia and in many other countries the issue of funding health services is being examined in an innovative and imaginative way. Senator Twomey is a general practitioner and general practice is a good example of co-location at work. When one enters a doctor's surgery in this city one cannot tell medical card holders from those paying fees and that is how things should be.
