Use of private hospitals may be extended if Covid crisis continues beyond five months

Private hospitals will continue to work with the HSE in the fight against Covid-19 for as long they are required.
The landmark deal between the HSE and the Private Hospitals Association (PHA) is for an initial three months, with an option for a two-month extension. However, the PHA has said it will continue to work with the HSE beyond that point if required to do so.
