Mr. Liam Woods:

The notion of being an employer of choice for clinical staff in what is a vibrant international market, as the Chairman will be aware, is key to that. Some recent discussions with clinical colleagues about the gap between the post-2012 and pre-2012 consultants could be an issue. Other contractual matters probably need to be considered as well. Overall, there is a question of planning for the numbers we need and then there is an issue about having attractive employment. The overall strategy of shifting to care in community and allowing hospitals to focus on what they need to focus on will help that attractiveness, as will capital infrastructure. The integrated plan for health should create that environment.
