Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare
Health Service Reform: Hospital Groups
9:00 am
Mr. Ian Carter:
In regard to medical staff in particular, we recruit from a group rather than geographical perspective. Each consultant contract will include a sessional commitment to one, two or even three sites that is not geography-specific. If I am recruiting consultant A, the contract will specify that he or she will work five hours in hospital A, ten hours in hospital B and so on. That is routine and it is done from a group perspective.
