Text
Minister, you are well aware that the health trusts have been told to make cuts of 4% every year for three years, which, the unions have said, will cost the jobs of porters and cleaners. At the same time, the highest paid director of the strategic planning and performance group (SPPG) has had a £40,000 pay rise in two years. Is it right, Minister, that the lowest paid workers in the health service are paying for the Executive's Budget crisis while those at the top are being more than looked after?
