In relation to the request for additional information during the Committee meeting on 18 March 2019, C&VUHB have confirmed there were two periods when increased rates for GPs were paid to fill out-of-hours shifts at short notice. These were in April and December 2018.

There have also been two cases in the last year where there were complaints against the out-of-hours service which C&VUHB accepted liability and compensation was agreed.
