Minister for Health

As stated in PQ 12346/17 of 8 March 2017 my Department is conducting an analysis of trends in private activity in public hospitals since the Health (Amendment) Act 2013 commenced. It is expected that the report will be completed before the end of May and I will share this analysis with the Deputy once it is finalised.
