Consultant Rest Day Agreement – Beaumont Hospital
The IMO is pleased to advise members that confirmation has been received from Beaumont Hospital that the IMO/ HSE Consultant Rest Days Agreement (May 2014) will be honoured. Previously, Consultants who were unable to avail of compensatory rest were not receiving payment in lieu; the Hospital having cited funding difficulties.
The IMO has applied constant pressure to the Hospital to ensure the agreement is implemented, both via third party dispute resolution mechanisms, and in discussions with senior HSE management.
We have sought further clarification from the Hospital as to when payment can be expected for impacted Consultants and will update members accordingly. Please contact our personal cases unit if you are experiencing difficulty in receiving your entitlement.
