Four ambulance controllers have sick pay cut despite doctors’ certificates

FOUR ambulance controllers are facing a bleak Christmas after health service bosses cut off their sick pay.

The Dublin-based controllers, who are aged between 40 and 45 and married with young children, have been on sick leave due to work-related stress for the last two months.

Their condition has been certified as genuine by their own GPs and by the Health Services Executive’s (HSE) occupational health doctor.
