Conditions in the descriptor
The in-rooms after-hours items have a NARROWER window than the out-of-rooms ones: public holidays and Sundays, before 8am or after 1pm on a Saturday, and before 8am or after 8pm on any other day. A 7pm Tuesday consultation in rooms is NOT after hours for item 5000 - it is item 3. The window appears nowhere in the descriptor.
