There seems to have been an interesting 'interpretation' of the new
Contract for Consultants that has seen some remarkably acidic e-mails
flying about today.
Some colleagues in other specialities have been doing additional
clinics, waiting list initiatives and so on since April and being paid
for them. They have now been told that these payments will be deducted
from the back pay for 2003-4. This interpretation has apparently come
from the Department. To say they are not happy is something of an
understatement.
Best wishes
Rowley.
