The theatre will accommodate weekend work if required. All equipment, consumables, and theatre staff (excluding surgeon and anaesthetist) shall be provided.
b) Facility rental for Inpatient services - inpatient capacity (12 rooms) and 5 day case pods for use by CVUHB. All inpatient rooms are en-suite and single occupancy to reduce any cross-infection risks. All nursing staff, consumables, pharmacy and RMO for post-op care and escalation of concerns to relevant consultant, if required, will be provided.
c) Cost per case contract for Imaging – 50% of the Health Board imaging capacity per week will be provided on an agreed cost per case basis.

St Josephs has the necessary capacity and can provide all requirements within one facility. In addition, the Health Board has undertaken a cost analysis of the overall proposed expenditure and is satisfied that this offers good value for money for the Health Board.
