But there is not a consultant expansion. I have been working single handed for 3 years and was previously in a dept with 2 consultants. A dept just to the North of here will be done to 2 consultants and at one stage there were 6. You only have to look at Leicester. More are being trained but not being appointed consultants. I strongly suspect a lot are going overseas to the Antipides.
