Finally, I do struggle to see where their is a problem with this as if you employ a plumber and they do a good job you are more likely to contact the same plumber again if you need more work, they same thinking applies.
Fair comment - wish we could charge plumbers rates though.
True but it can also be seen as like when your dodgy landlord employs his dodgy mate to fix the plumbing - you don't necessarily get the best job. And it should also be pointed out that its not just about the welsh trusts - it can be county councils and their units or even consultants employing their 'favourites'. Potential conflicts of interest can arise anywhere and have to be correctly monitored and policed, ideally by a strong IFA, and where a line is crossed action should be taken.
