Residential On Call Rates

Summary

The request sought a breakdown of Manx Care staff groups providing residential on-call services at Noble's Hospital and their specific hourly rates. The authority disclosed that while some roles like Operating Department Practitioners have a fixed hourly rate, most clinical staff are paid via annualised contracts or local agreements rather than a standard per-hour standing rate.

Key Facts

• Operating Department Practitioners receive a fixed rate of £10 per hour for residential on-call.
• Consultant Radiologists are paid under a local agreement where the first 2 hours of weekday shifts and specific weekend hours are classed as resident on-call.
• 1st on-call anaesthetists are paid based on a contracted rate where a 'PA' counts as 4 hours during weekdays or 3 hours during nights/weekends.
• Surgical Clinical Fellows, Medical SD/IMT, and Orthopaedic Clinical Fellows are paid via annualised salaries under the UK 2016 contract, meaning on-call commitments are pre-paid rather than billed hourly.
• For Operating Department Practitioners, work exceeding 10 minutes triggers overtime payments at time and a half for nights and weekends.
