    Hi just a quick question for anyone on the GP scheme or who have recently completed it. In years 3 and 4 when you are working as a registrar, are you paid as an SpR or just as a registrar in terms of the HSE scales?
    Thanks

    With allowances e.g. OOH and travel which add quite a bit. It's all in the NCHD contract.

    ok thanks, my understanding is that the out of hours allowance is no longer being paid though, is this not correct?

    I'd have to dig out my old payslips, but I'm not sure. I certainly got the living out allowance so if you're in receipt of that it'll continue.

    I thought it was abolished around the time the living out allowance was abolished but theres very little about it online

    Yeah I don't recall receiving a OOH allowance, but I could be wrong.

    The Living Out Allowance hasn't been paid to new entrants since around 2011 I think. The IMO is pursuing a High Court case at the moment with the aim of having this reinstated.

    The Out of Hours Allowance covers the 120 hours of OOH work per year GP trainees have to do to get signed off. From memory the idea was that it brought the GP reg salary upto or close to the equivalent SpR salary. For GP registrars this amounts to something like €10,500 per year. It is definitely still paid but there was talk around the time of the FEMPI cuts that it would be abolished.

    There is also a travel allowance payable to GP registrars to cover travel to/from Day Release and for House calls. It's paid at civil service rates as far as I know.

    In an odd turn of events, the travel allowance was previously an unvouched sum of around 3.8k. (think this had some tax advantages too). It's in the contract. It is absolutely not a vouched refund comparable to civil service per the contract. Nevertheless the synts in the HSE unilatearlly changed this and continue to get away with it.
