Although BRI AND QPH were 2 seperate hospitals the staff have always been the same and often work between sites so there should be no difference there, we have however merged with Burnley so that may affect it slightly though different specialities at different hospitals apply. I hadn't heard about the outpatient appointments but I've been on mat leave for 4 months, though I will do some digging now. Unfortunately the NHS is all about meeting targets, they have to be met in order to get funding, the staff however are just put under even more pressure and I can understand why so many of them will be unhappy about it.
