Ethnic minority consultants 'paid less' than white colleagues

Ethnic minority consultants 'paid less' than white colleagues Senior ethnic minority doctors in the NHS are paid less than their white counterparts, research suggests.

The gap was much smaller across other types of doctors and grades. BBC News
