>how did you manage to get Government to accept this deal - what must be a "contract from hell" from their point of view? And why can't someone work the same logic into a new consultants' contract? Adrian Fogarty --> In today's world of protocols and algorithms, this is the question with the simplest reply you could possibly have: The only way to get theis govt to do ANYTHING is to provide its been counters with evidence or, more commonly, the high probability of BAD PRESS and they'll jump through ANY HOOP. In the junior doctor negotiations this was accomplished, among other ways, by threats of industrial action and by a strong media campaign. It will work again if, for example, consultants started talking about making up a contract, then mass resignation and an offer to accept re-employment on terms of this contract. I have said this before, but what is required is a contract written by legal minds, not only by medical ones. It requires people who deal with contract legalities and principles regularly. ...once they stop laughing at the current framework proposed... _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com
