There are 10 doctors at this facility - 4 work the morning shift from 0600 till 1400, 4 from 1200 - 2000 (so 8 there from 1200 - 1400), but only 2 from 2000 - 0600 next morning - is the number you're looking for 10 / 4 / 8 or 2? It gets worse when you consider specialities - of those 10 doctors, 2 are surgeons, 1 anaethesist, 1 obstetrician, 2 emergency room (none of whom are usually available for general ward duty) & only 4 "normal" doctors. What number do you want? I'm sorry, Mhairi, but we've been asking these same questions ever since this proposal was first put up, & nobody from your team has yet answered them. It's a nice idea, but at this stage, I for one would have to be inclined to vote no :-( Thanks Graeme
