Mark. Don't go at it alone!
Before sitting down to negotiate this, make sure that the agenda includes
discussion of the escalation policy's inclusion of medical consultants etc
coming in when some of these queued up cases are theirs or look as if they
could be theirs to the triage nurse. Then negotiate a rate for all specialty
consultants together.
Does the list agree that even sitting down to negotiate a rate seems to
indicate that one accepts one SHOULD be called and from then on it's just a
matter of a gradual downwards adjustment of how much of a queue one
requires...
