Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare
Health Service Reform: Hospital Groups
9:00 am
Ms Colette Cowan:
Yes, if required. I am speaking about the broader group. My colleagues spoke about consultants. We have to work on the sessional commitments. It is important for the brand as well. In terms of the development of hospital groups, we want people to be proud of the group they work in. We would prefer them to say they work for UL hospitals rather than at a specific site, which provides for greater collective bargaining at the table.
