With junior doctor strikes threatening to continue into 2024, we ask when the tide might turn for the crisis-hit NHS
Thousands of doctors walking out - and threatening to do so every month until next year. This is just one more source of pressure on the crisis-hit NHS.
Yesterday , chants rang out across the city centre as doctors from across the north west gathered outside the Manchester Central Convention Centre to rally behind their campaign - not for a pay rise, they claim, but for a ‘pay restoration’. The doctors chose the day to challenge Health Secretary, Steve Barclary, who was expected to be inside the centre giving a speech to NHS leaders at a convention running at the same time.
The vicious cycle continues as the government says it will not be offering more, and the doctors rail against what they see as a vast pay cut over the course of more than a decade. “Nobody should receive a pay cut of more than 26 per cent, it’s actually gone up to 32 per cent with inflation this year. If that figure sounds like a big figure, it’s because our pay has been cut by that much."
“We know health services are already struggling with severe staff shortages in many areas, and with the NHS carrying over 120,000 vacancies, further industrial action will very likely leave one of the Prime Minister’s key missions, that of reducing waiting lists, at risk.
