I established an independent review group, led by Dr Donal de Buitléir, to examine the separation of private activity from public hospitals.
The consultation process to be followed is a matter for the independent review group .
I understand that the group undertook a public consultation exercise - advertised in the national media, on the Department's website and on social media - and also wrote to relevant organisations, in order to receive written input from members of the public and interested stakeholders.
I expect that the review group will continue to engage with all relevant stakeholders, prior to reporting back to me with their recommendations.
