Have they considered offering massive money to Doctors?How do you do it without many of the consultants fucking off elsewhere? I don't think it's a circle that can be squared unless they are offered massive money to give up/severely curtail private practice.
I wonder how much the public service pays for medicine(s) in Ireland, do they use the clout of the entire country to get a discount or just pay whatever they're asked to pay so as not to interfere with the market.
