@notjustjack Haha even with obscene amounts of out of hours work; (add ineuropean working time directive limits) myself nor colleagues come anywhere close to these figures!
Today a doctor on the picket line said to me: โMPs have had a 42.7% increase since 2008, Junior Doctors have had a 25% decrease since 2010. So letโs not have MPs saying that pay restoration for doctors is unaffordable. We have families to feed as well.โ
A fair point indeed.
'If they called off the strikes they would get a reasonable offer'
Dr Laurence Gerlis believes the four-day strike should be called off. He adds that four day strikes haven't achieved anything in the past.
However, he tells @ranvir01 that he supports the doctors' pay demands.
Iโve written to @BMA_JuniorDocs inviting them for formal pay talks on the same basis other health unions accepted, including calling off next weekโs strike.
Letโs have a constructive dialogue to make the NHS a better place to work and ensure we deliver the care patients need.
