Doctors at CUH ‘owed six months overtime’

Junior doctors who have threatened to ballot for industrial action at a Cork hospital say they are owed unrostered overtime payments stretching back six months.

This is despite the fact that management at Cork University Hospital promised to reimburse the doctors by Feb 14.

When this did not happen, the non-consultant hospital doctors (NCHDs) warned management they had until Mar 28 to pay up. If monies are not repaid by then, a ballot will take place on that date.
