With regard to the report of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the control of private patient activity in acute public hospitals, the consultants' contracts have a variation of between 0% and 30% with regard to the maximum workload in the private sector. Why do we have this variation? Why would one consultant's contract allow 0% private work while another may allow 30%? What is the origin of this?
