Where are they going to sit?

Where are the beds?

They don't exist.

Well, nobody has answered the question.

Yeah, nobody has answered the question.

Where is all the money going to come from that is already generated or that is being generated by the private patients attending public hospitals?

Where is all that money going to come from?

Nobody's answered the question.

I don't think anybody's actually even asked the question, not to mind getting answered the question.

Oh, yes, yes, yes, of course.

Well, I think that's a little bit disingenuous to say that.

Obviously, one doctor...

is not going to open a hospital.

Now you're contradicting yourself because you're saying, well, yes, it's okay to set up a private hospital.

And I think we're straying away from the point that we are actually talking about a specific field of medicine

that will no longer be allowed for a patient who wishes to go private for whatever reason.

And that is something, a very personal decision between a woman and her doctor or a woman and the hospital.

I mean, as Fintan has said, and I know because I've worked in the system, you can have consultant care, you can have midwifery-led care, you can have GP hospital care, you can have domino care.

you can have a home birth attached to a maternity hospital, meaning the staff that will graft you are actually based within a hospital setting.

So you're taking out a choice.
