I will bring a memorandum to Government on the Medical Manpower Forum report within the next few weeks. I will seek the Government's approval to have the report published and to the steps which will need to follow on from there. Subject to Government approval I will publish the report as soon as possible.
Any change programme of the scale proposed in the Medical Manpower Forum report would, in the normal course of events, require agreement with the staff interests concerned. The situation in relation to the report of the Medical Manpower Forum is no different in this respect.
