Mr. Speaker, I don’t think there’s a disagreement between the Member and myself that we do need to do something about this. We are working on a proposal to see what we can do. I am suggesting that.
But in order to be cost-effective, it is better to concentrate the services in one unit. I have also indicated to the Member that Stanton has indicated to us that they could only make the facility available one day every six or eight weeks.
What we would like to do, for cost-efficiency purposes…. You need an anaesthetist to do this, and they are the most expensive specialists. It is better if we could concentrate them into one place
and do the service six weeks in a row, or four weeks in a row, to clear the backlog and to upkeep them. There is no cost efficiency to be gained, or it’s more expensive to spread the services around if we don’t have to.
