There will be difficulties with the consultants' contracts, as there are always difficulties with major industrial relations situations. However, the Minister needs to hold on to more people on a part-time basis, which could be very important for those with smaller hospitals in their areas. It could help to make up a sufficient quota to cover the time during which people are on call. We have a serious problem with consultants taking early retirement and if they were asked to take on certain shifts and teaching roles in hospitals, we might hold onto more of them. There has also been a great increase in the number of young women consultants being produced and in areas like pathology, anaesthetics and psychiatry sometimes one only needs a part-time consultant. The rate of only 2% part-time consultants at present, is very low.
