We are months into NHS strikes and doctors warn they could last into 2024 - what does it mean for patients in pain?
Doctors are again heading out on strike this week, expected to cause more disruption and delays in the NHS.
Dr Rob Laurenson, co-chairman of the BMA junior doctors’ committee, appearing on Sky News’s Sophy Ridge On Sunday programme this week, said it is “a real shame” junior doctors in England have to stage a 72-hour walkout from 7am on Wednesday. Dr Laurenson said accepting the government’s offer would have meant “another real-terms pay cut”.
"They will also benefit from generous changes to pension taxation announced at budget and are eligible to apply for additional financial awards worth up to £40,000 a year as part of the NHS consultant contract. We urge the BMA to carefully consider the likely impact of any action on patients." The doctor said: “When hospital leaders say non-urgent, non-urgent might be something like non-cancer, but it’s still really important to each individual patient who has been waiting and often waiting for a really long time.
“I can understand that there’s going to be an immense amount of frustration from patients and from our other colleagues when our doctors go on strike this weekend, and it’s going to cause an immense source of frustration for everyone.
