process takes place locally and was based on NHS Appointments Commission
procedures. The two appointments made commenced on 1 April 2009 and will
continue for a period of 12 months, with a review after 9 months,
dependent upon development of this organisation and mutual agreement for
the future. There are currently no plans for further appointments.

We do hope you find this information useful, but if you have any further
