Public benefits

The direct benefits which flow from purpose 1 include the advancement of education and the enhancement of the knowledge of medical professionals, in particular, those working in the area of orthopaedic services. There is no harm flowing from this purpose. The direct benefits which flow from purpose 2 include improved health outcomes for members

of the public in Northern Ireland, who require orthopaedic services. This is achieved by the continuous provision, maintenance, development and improvement of orthopaedic services and facilities for patients in Northern Ireland. There is no harm flowing from this purpose. The benefits which flow from Purpose 1 can be demonstrated through seminars, conferences and publications, sponsorship of awards and the increase in medical professionals specialising in orthopaedic services. The benefits which flow from Purpose 2 can be demonstrated by the increase in the provision of orthopaedic services provided to the general public in Northern Ireland. Currently there is 1 orthopaedic surgeon per 30,000 head of population in Northern Ireland and this should ideally be I per 15,000. NIROTC will seek to reduce this imbalance. No General public in Northern Ireland Any private benefits are incidental because they directly contribute towards achieving the charity’s purposes and are necessary towards the achievement of those purposes. The private benefits are significantly less valuable than the main charitable benefits and therefore the private benefits are outweighed by the main charitable benefits to the beneficiaries.
