Why can the training bodies not do two-year contracts? Why can two hospitals, say in Cork and Waterford, together with the training body not sign one contract for two years? That is being done in the UK. I accept there are different pay structures and, technically, there are two employers but surely in this day and age there is nothing to prevent two hospitals from coming together with the training body to offer a two-year contract for a training programme at two locations.
