Jennifer Carlin, sorry, was clear that...

That clause, which was at the hospital level, was specifically for emergencies.

And the individual contracts were very clearly said they can only do public health care.

And the issue, I mean, there is this fact that one of the issues here is insurance, which is why I understand Mount Carmel closed, is that in other places you go and have a whole private hospital on its own and they get insurance for that.

They can't get insurance.

They can't afford insurance.

Not in the short term.

term because there's lots of doctors are on are on lots of doctors are still on the old contracts but the issue is as elaine said we need to get to a situation where everyone has the right to the same health care because the the master was saying oh everyone gets the same care in the in the rotunda there's there's no difference really and then saying but everyone's safer if some women are paying for private health care which did not make sense who actually do you think holds ultimate accountability about decisions being made in the hospitals
