Health Workers Receive Cushioning Allowance
Doctors, nurses and other health workers on Wednesday received the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) following a Health Service Bipartite Negotiating Panel (HSBNP) held on 28 August.
The COLA or cushioning allowance as it is sometimes called is understood to be 60 per cent of health workers’ August salaries which the doctors rejected out of hand as insignificant.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Ministry of Health and Child Care said:
