A consultant contracting with the State is not, in essence, much different from a public servant, even if the consultant is technically self-employed. We require teachers to turn up for a certain number of days and hours. We do not allow them to delegate teaching to others, allowing them to give private grinds during school hours, even if many would not use that option. It is not anti-teacher to make this stipulation nor is it anti-consultant. There is a role for delegation but there is also a limit to it. It is simply common sense public management which, I believe many consultants will accept.
