Pay cuts for some

THE HSE and the IPU are in disagreement about whether the unilateral cuts to pharmacists’ incomes from state drug schemes amount to 24% or 34%.

Even a cut of 24% is very severe and I wonder if the various HSE employees who have been trundled out to face the media in recent days have had a wage cut of anywhere close to that amount imposed on them?
