Bob I am no expert so all I can do is give my opinion.
There are lots of private clinics for various procedures like X rays, etc. You can get an X ray for free in a hospital or pay to have one done in a clinic. Having said that, the government is unequivecal in stressing the fact that the system is universal and there is no parrellel private system.
I had some minor skin surgery in a private clinic 2 years ago for which I had to pay $100. I could have had the same thing done in the hospital for no charge but I would have had to wait a few weeks. However major medical procedures are all carried out in hospitals.
