says industrial action by hospital consultants is inevitable if the Government does not enter into talks to end the lower pay rates in place for senior doctors appointed in recent years.
Earlier this week nurses warned of further strikes if a row over a new contract – a key element in proposals that led to the suspension of a series of work stoppages last month – was not resolved. “Pay adjustments due through the upgradings range from 5 per cent to 7 per cent, mainly applying to healthcare assistants, maternity care assistants, laboratory aides and surgical instrument technicians. It is understood that monies are due to these workers since September and October 2018. It is clear from the Public Service Stability Agreement and the terms of the support staff job evaluation procedure that engagement and implementation of any upgrade awarded be applied within eight weeks.
