Officials from my Department and from the Medical Council recently met a delegation of the doctors concerned. This issue relates to a sponsorship scheme, the timescale for which has now elapsed. The officials listened to the concerns of the doctors and are now reflecting on the issues raised. They will revert to the doctors as soon as consultations with the relevant bodies, the Medical Council and College of Anaesthetists, are completed.
