Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

In as simple terms as I can, that individual held a role which would effectively be a non-consultant hospital doctor. It was a lecturer or assistant lecturer post, as I understand. The person was asked and agreed to take on a role to provide locum for a consultant. For a lot of reasons it took over seven or eight years to fully regularise that and then make all the back payments. There was no element of settlement in it. It was simply the difference between a junior doctor's salary and a consultant's salary over seven or more years.
