I will move on to something totally different. I refer to the findings of a high attrition rate among support staff due to bullying issues and the whole issue about people in training finding it very difficult. Anyone who is in training - a senior house officer, a registrar or a senior registrar - will depend for references into the future on the person they are under. For that reason, they may be afraid of raising concerns about the way they are treated. What is the process now being set up to deal with that kind of issue, where a registrar or senior registrar who is not happy about the way issues are being managed is afraid of raising it because they are afraid for their future career prospects?
