Mr. Bernard Gloster:

The weighted average time in UHL is below the national average, which is a really significant achievement because it is the time people are waiting. There was insourcing involved in that but at least that was the return. We are converting the locums to permanent appointments to build up the resilience of the hospital. Ms Broderick is right about increased specialties. I must say, however, no matter that she is sitting next to me, the hospital will only get them if it can show it can use them.
