Stephen Donnelly 'unambiguously committed' to medical consultant pay parity

Health minister Stephen Donnelly said the issue is something he was committed to in opposition and remains 'unambiguously strongly commited to' as minister. 

Health minister Stephen Donnelly said he is “unambiguously committed” to pay restoration for medical consultants as 500 posts lay unfilled.

Mr Donnelly told the annual Irish Hospital Consultants Association (IHCA) conference that it is currently a policy he was pursuing, but did not go into specifics as to when and how it would be done.
