Recommendation 10: At least four new consultant psychiatrists
From Report of the Committee of Inquiry into Whittingham Hospital.
Recommendation
At least four new consultant psychiatrists should be appointed to Whittingham Hospital, with appropriate junior staff, and in making appointments the special needs of long-stay psychiatric and geriatric patients should be borne in mind. There will need to be an equitable reallocation of sessions to ensure that all consultants obtain a suitable variety of work.
