S.L. 458.23 Art. 12Work by government personnel.

(1) No medical practitioner, dental surgeon, nurse, midwife, pharmacist, pharmacy technician or any other person to whom Part V of the Act refers, and who is also in the employment of Government, may, during those hours in which he is contracted to provide his services to Government, work in any medical clinic unless he is on approved leave of absence. Any breach of this provision by any such medical practitioner, dental surgeon, nurse, midwife, pharmacist, pharmacy technician or other person shall be deemed to be an offence. It shall be the duty of the licensee of such clinic to take all reasonable steps to ensure that this provision is complied with.

(2) The licensee shall require all persons to whom Part V of the Act refers to register their attendance at the medical clinic, indicating date and time and whether entering or leaving the clinic, immediately on entering and immediately before leaving the clinic, in a register kept for the purpose. The licensee shall transmit the contents of such register to the Ministry or department in such manner as may be specified by the Minister. The provisions of regulation 11(6) shall also apply to the register referred to in this provision.

(3) It shall be an offence for any licensee or person in charge of a clinic to permit on the premises any person to whom subregulation (1) refers unless the conditions of subregulation (2) have been complied with.

(4) Where, except in an emergency, any licensee or person in charge of a clinic is in wilful breach of any preceding provision of this regulation, such clinic shall be deemed to have been operating without a licence.
