Mr. Tony O'Brien:
It sounds familiar in that it is a case that was made by others and found not to be correct. If it is genuinely a separate set of exercises in which they are involved, after they have fulfilled their contract with the health service, there is no legal prohibition on their having external employment. If that is what it is and can be shown as such, we do not have an issue. Clearly, we are waiting for the evidence.
