Traduction de «Médecin au service de santé des immigrants » (Français → Anglais) :

The European Commission has decided to refer Italy to the EU's Court of Justice for failing to apply correctly the Working Time Directive to doctors in public health services.

When asked why GPs were not using eHealth services more, their reasons were a lack of remuneration (79%); insufficient knowledge of IT skills (72%); the lack of interoperability of systems (73%); and a lack of a regulatory framework on confidentiality and privacy for email doctor-patient communication (71%).

In Italy , it is also not transposed for the emergency services; and derogations for doctors in public health services, court and prison staff, as well as the exclusion of employees in libraries, museums and State archaeological sites, seem to exceed what the Directive would allow.

- There is no legal requirement or practice of treating ‘active’ on-call time as working time in Ireland (as a general rule) or in Greece (doctors in public health services).
