Research by the IPPR has revealed, unsurprisingly, that because of the current difficulties of the NHS more people are seeking private treatment. I suggest to the IPPR that it conducts further research into the average increase in salary of consultants on maximum part-time NHS contracts over the same time, and what effect, if any, this is having on overcoming the NHS's difficulties.
Rapid Response:
More research needed
