    GENERAL PRACTITIONER HOSPITAL UNITS Staff Fund 87. The health authority shall create a staff fund in respect of each hospital in which medical services are provided by general practitioners where they take full clinical responsibility for their patients. The fund shall be shared among the general practitioner staff as they may themselves determine, In-patients 88. A payment should be made to the fund for each eligible bed (other than private pay-beds and maternity beds) in the hospital or unit. An eligible bed shall be defined as follows: ae in a hospital or unit in which average bed occupancy during the preceding calendar year exceeded 70Z, the average number of staffed available beds during that year; b. in a hospital or unit in which average bed occupancy during the previous calendar year was 70% or less, the average daily number of occupied beds during the preceding calendar year multiplied by 1.2. Beds under the control of a consultant 89. Where beds in these hospitals or units are under the control of a consultant, the beds shall: ae be included in computing the staff fund if, in the absence of the consultant, responsibility for attending the patients is shared by the general practitioner staff; b. be excluded from the calculation if one or more general practitioners or other medical staff hold contracts with the health authority whole-time or for a certain number of notional half-days for the purpose of attending to the patients in these beds, under the direction of the consultant.
