In the hospital setting currently, must a consultant who is employed by a hospital group sign up to the terms and conditions of that hospital group? Is there not scope on an individual basis, when it comes to a hospital group or a trust, that the doctor would be told that if they were coming to work there, part of the contract is that they must sign up to the internal auditing process? Is that not a step in the right direction. I understand the point. If it is made more likely that people get in trouble by being on a list, they will not bother. However, I am slightly uncomfortable with the ethos of this.
