What the accounts disclose

Related-party transaction: Medical Trustee Directors sit on the Research Sub-Committee and make recommendations on funding direction and appointments, with potential for indirect benefit if funded appointees alleviate their clinical responsibilities.
“Three medical Trustee Directors sit on the Research Sub-Committee. Consequently they make recommendations upon the direction of the research, allocation of funding and related appointments. There is potential for indirect benefit to accrue to these medical Trustee Directors, for example, where the funded appointee delivers a partial clinical role which may alleviate their own clinical responsibilities.” — page 56
