Ms Fiona Brady:

It is down to our process. It is about the adherence to our MOU. I might bring my personal experience into this from managing Drogheda hospital for five years. Any initiative that came on my desk that was over and above what we normally asked consultants to do in a core working week, I would have reviewed their work schedules with the clinical director before I would ever request any NTPF activity to be carried out within the hospital. I would have assumed that was happening. I see Mr. Kelly is nodding there. That is what should be happening. We must max out what is happening in core hours. Mr. Gloster alluded to that many times yesterday and I completely concur.
