I'm going to start repeating myself, because, as Senator Ruston knows, this is a framework bill, so the detail can't be finalised until the framework bill passes because that's what sets up the legislative framework for the instruments that will then be finalised, following consultation, which are all disallowable. And, in terms of whether or not surgeries can change or won't change or whatever, private hospitals make those decisions all the time around a range of factors, so I don't think any person in this place could ever say that no surgeries would change at a private hospital, because they change all the time based on a whole range of factors.
