Dr. Jerome Coffey:

In terms of process, if a new consultant post is funded and approved, it goes to the consultant appointments advisory committee but it comes to me to sign off the job description of what it is. For example, the current principle is that we will increase the amount of research time on a consultant contract. A hospital came to me and said they had one session and I said no, because the strategy says we need to increase it to at least double that. Consequently, I push back and I will not approve a new post until there is a significant increase in the research sessions on that contract. That is a very pragmatic part of the process that we have already started.
