There are senior decision makers on site. The consultants are on call and available at all times should there be a requirement for their attendance. The number of NCHDs on site at the weekend was something of concern with regard to the number of attendances. It is something we have addressed with the PMIU and we now have approval for an additional 11 registrars and ten senior house officers, SHOs, to staff our emergency department-----
