Junior doctors in Scotland have been offered a 14.5% pay rise over two years in an attempt to halt strike action
Scottish Junior Doctor committee chairman Dr Chris Smith said the negotiations were done in"good faith" and the offer will be put to union members."However, the offer that has been made is without doubt an improvement on the 4.5% awarded last year, and the improved offer for 2022/23 would represent a slowdown in doctors' pay erosion which has accelerated up to this point after 15 years of real-terms decline.
Mr Smith added that the offer"reflects the best that the Scottish government will offer after this series of negotiations".If the offer is rejected,"several different options" would be back on the table, he said, including strike action. He also welcomed the commitment to establish a junior doctor pay bargaining review taskforce which will have a remit to deliver a new system that prevents pay erosion.
