Will the facility we are discussing deal with protected time for junior doctors and consultants, or teaching hours? Will it cover protected study time for junior doctors? Many of the problems arise because young doctors do not have protected time for study purposes. When they are meant to be studying they are equipped with a bleeper which could go off at any time summoning young doctors back to their posts. Will the provision cover that type of matter because it is very important?
