In the context of the discussion about consultants we had earlier, how does the HSE monitor consultants, doctors and others in the system who do not clock in? I presume that when a nurse or employee of a hospital or HSE service arrives at work, he or she clocks in, and clocks out on leaving. How does the HSE know what time is spent where in the case of doctors and consultants? Is there a method of logging all of that?
