Ms Lucy Nugent:

I will clarify. The individual was reviewed by the occupational health department and was deemed not fit to do on-call. This does not mean not doing day-time hours. It is really about if you get a call in the middle of the night to operate on a sick baby or treat a sick baby, you need to be in the full of your health. This is the element of on-call that was the issue. The individual was fulfilling the normal day-time hours in that regard.
