Professor Sadlier was on the radio this morning to talk about the working time Act. The committee has discussed the issue many times. It seems amazing that workers in a medical environment are subjected to having to work these hours. There are regulations for truck drivers that mean they can only drive a certain number of hours per week. Doctors are subjected to dangerous hours when they have to look after people. It seems like madness.
