Medical consultants’ High Court pay claims were adjourned to May, as reported on 10 November 2016. The actions allege that the HSE failed to make payments under the 2008 common consultant’s contract.

The claims involve 497 consultants and are estimated at €250 million, but the HSE and State defendants deny breaching the contract. The judge sought arrangements to progress the cases while limiting court time and legal costs.
