IMO To Take Legal Action Against HSE
The Irish Medical Organisation (IMO) is to take legal action against the HSE on behalf of Interns, Senior House Officers and Registrars.
The IMO is seeking to compel the HSE to honour agreements to pay an agreed Living Out Allowance of €3,182 per year.
Dr John Duddy, Vice President of the IMO, said: "The NCHD Living out allowance forms part of the NCHD Contract which was part of the High Court settlement agreed between the IMO and HSE following threatened strike action in 2010. The living out allowance is €3,182 per annum and is payable to Interns, Senior House Officers and Registrars. In 2012 the HSE ceased paying the allowance to all new entrants but those in receipt of it held it. This was a ploy to wind-down the payment of this allowance as existing recipients moved through the system."
