I understand that the final costs figures in this case have not yet been determined and apportioned. Such costs as will fall to be borne by Beaumont Hospital will be recouped by the Department. The payment of these costs will not have any impact on the quality or quantity of patient care to be provided at Beaumont Hospital.
