New Consultant Pay Scale
The updated Pay and Conditions Circular (29/04/2024) has now been published after consultants accepted their new pay deal.

As we know, this now includes:
- A reduction in the number of pay points in the pay scale.
- An increase in starting pay.
- An increase in pay at the top of the pay scale.
I believe the numbers have been estimated and discussed in a previous post, but since we have the exact figures to hand now, what is the overall consensus?
