Is there anything in the contracts of clerical staff working in hospitals that allows them to carry out work on behalf of consultants' private practices? For instance, may a person working for and paid by the HSE take up work during his or her working hours on behalf of a consultant in a private capacity, such as managing the consultant's private diary or sending out appointment letters for the consultant's private practice and receive remuneration for such work from the consultant? Is double jobbing permitted under those contracts?
