Secretary of health Wes Street struck the British Medical Association (Bma) “Reckless” decision to take ahead with industrial action This week later The attempts of the last element to avoid strikes by junior doctors failed.
THE doctors‘Union confirmed strikes would start on Friday at 7 a.m. and continue for five days After having decided that Mr. Streetting’s offers “did not go far enough to justify an announcement of strikes”.
After the meeting, The Secretary of Health reiterated that “we cannot go to remuneration after a salary increase of 28.9%” But added that the government was looking for ways to improve the professional life of resident doctors.
The BMA resident doctors’ committee said that if the members were happy to discuss questions without payment, the row “is basically a remuneration dispute”.
The Secretary of Health struck the BMA and said that he had “recklessly and unnecessarily opted for a strike action”.
He said: “The BMA would not have lost anything by taking the offer to postpone strike measures to negotiate a package that would improve the professional life of resident doctors.
“My attention will now be in terms of prejudice to patients and to support NHS staff at work.
“After an increase in salary of 28.9% in the last three years and the highest increase in remuneration in the public sector two consecutive years, strike action is completely unjustified, completely unprecedented in the history of British unionism and shows a complete disdain for patients and the broader recovery of the NHS.”
Announcing a strike action, the BMA said that the offers of the Secretary of Health lacked “any substantive proposal on the elements of remuneration and non-payment”.
The co -chairs of the BMA resident doctors committee, Dr. Melissa Ryan and Dr. Ross Nieuwoudt, said: “We have been in talks with Wes Street and his civil servants in recent days, trying urgently to reach a compromise that will allow us to call a credible path to pay the restoration offered by the government. Explore real solutions today with the problems facing resident doctors.
“Unfortunately, we have not received an offer that would respond to the extent of these challenges. Although we were happy to discuss the problems without paying the table. “”
On Tuesday, the heads of health urged the BMA to “repaint again” before Friday.
Responding to the announcement, the director general of NHS suppliers, Daniel Elkeles, said: “This decision is an overwhelming blow for patients and the NHS.
“The trusts retained the cancellations when there was the realistic prospect of a breakthrough. They will now do everything they can to make sure there is less – and in some cases less – cancellations than the last time.
“Safety is essential, so unfortunately, there will be disturbances for patients due to the need to provide coverage. We urge resident doctors to help trusts minimize damages by informing them of their plans for strike days. ”
The press release indicates that there must be enough staff for cancer, transplantation and maternity care who cannot and must not be delayed.
This occurs because no service has so far been exempt from strike action.
Health department heads said they are concerned about the costs of strike action, and NHS suppliers have urged consultants to take NHS remuneration rates rather than “insist on swollen BMA levels”.
In some regions, BMA remuneration rates are triple what the NHS would pay for coverage.
