Private Sector and Health

Asked if it was accepted that the Government was scaling back the involvement of the private sector in the health service, the PMS said we would not accept that; the policy on the role of the private sector in the health sector remained the same. We were totally committed to using the independent sector where it represented value for money.

Put that it did not represent value for money, the PMS repeated that the policy had not changed and we were committed to using the independent sector, but as in all Government decisions in relation to Government money, it had to represent value for money.
