The move comes as a union representing physios in Northern Ireland holds its first ballot for industrial action

They also provide radiotherapy for cancer patients. “Many departmental managers now automatically rota radiographers for overtime – rather than asking for overtime on a voluntary basis – as it’s the only way they can make sure there’s enough staff available. At the same time, pay has been dropping further and further behind the rest of the UK.
