Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Private Activity in Public Hospitals: Discussion
Dr. Donal de Buitléir:
If people sign new contracts that require them to spend a certain number of hours in the public system, the management of that system must ensure they comply with those contracts, just as every other civil servant complies with his or her contract. When I was a civil servant, I could not skive off in the afternoon to run my private business. It had to be managed.
