I propose to take Questions Nos. 153 and 177 together.

The new consultant's contract will set out in detail formal employment arrangements for consultants practising exclusively in the public sector. The impact of the new contract on proposals to locate private facilities on public hospital sites will fall to be considered as part of the transition to the new contract.
