Comments
Guide for use:
This metadata item relates to each position (job) held by a medical practitioner, not the aggregate of hours worked in all.
Context:
Health labour force
Comments:
It is often argued that health professionals contribute a considerable amount of time to voluntary professional work and that this component needs to be identified. This should be considered as an additional item, and kept segregated from data on paid hours worked.
