Average Cost of Medical Insurance for Other Grades of Medical Staff

All Other Medical Staff | 8,030 | 9,735 | 10,433 | 10,810 | 12,377 | 9,483 |
- Explanation Of Variances:
- In 2010 the department changed the way that it coded medical insurance. Up to 2009 insurance paid for other medical staff was coded to Hospital Management and Administration. From 2010 the department has coded this insurance to each division.
- During 2011 the department retendered its contract for medical insurance. As a result from July 2011 the department changed its insurance provider which explains the major part of the reduction in spend on medical insurance in 2011.
- Inpatients include specialty consultant insurance for Obstetrics & Gynaecology in addition to Orthopaedic & Trauma which have seen significant increases in premiums since 2009.
- Consultants pay medical insurance in full and make a recharge for the public element of their insurance. If a claim is not made or is made in a subsequent financial year by the consultant there will be a distorting effect on consultant average cost of medical insurance year on year.
- Vacancies and changes in practices may affect the average cost of consultant insurances.
