Medical consultants employed by the Government have been ordered to abandon any industrial action planned to protest a decision by health authorities to recoup a disputed overpayment totalling nearly $200 million through salary deductions.
The South East Regional Health Authority (SERHA) and the Ministry of Health and Wellness have also been ordered not to go ahead with the salary deductions.
The orders were made on Tuesday by a three-member panel of the Industrial Disputes Tribunal (IDT), according to a statement from the Ministry of Labour and Social Security.
