Just my opinion. I believe that the Private Hospitals are doing more than enough. They have taken none Covid patients and admitted them to take the strain off the Gene Hosp. Not much more that they can do, is there.

I have certainly read this morning about Private Hospitals taking Non Covid patients therefore freeing up more beds in the general hospital

''At the same time, the HIO will call on all private hospitals that have joined the General Health Plan (Gesy) to cooperate with one another. Because of the vast needs that have risen as a result of the increased number in coronavirus patients currently admitted at public hospitals.

The Organisation is also planning to staff private hospitals with additional general practitioners under whose care will come non-Covid patients currently in the hands of doctors in overcrowded departments of public hospitals''.

I wonder where the "additional general practitioners" will come from.. And will that mean that their patients will no longer be able to consult with them ??
