Mr. Nicholas Jermyn:

Like most of the major hospitals, we have very few category A consultants. That category generally appears in what is called the mental health and disability service. We have, I think, fewer than ten category A consultants. As in many of the major hospitals, most consultants are category B or B* or the old type consultant category II. In our hospital approximately 35% of our consultants would have the new category B contract. We have more than 200 consultants on our site and around ten consultants have category A contracts.
