Doogie, not strictly true about trusts being on the same T&C as the rest of the NHS.
How do you explain Trusts like Sheffield who already have a local non-whitley pay system. If a member of staff loses out on AfC they have the right to remain on their local non whitley pay scale. Unfortunately only a few have safety net.
DH is already looking at unsocial hours (this was the gripe of the Radiographers) and have agreed to keep the existing system for paying unsocial hours until a new workable system can be developed.
