UK Doctors on strike over pay rise. June 14, 2023 Up to 47,600 junior doctors who are members of the British medical association , embarked on a strike on Wednesday over a demand for increased salaries.The union said junior doctors have suffered a “pay erosion” of 26 percent over the last 15 years, as their wages have failed to keep up with inflation.The junior doctors had previously gone on strike for 96 hours in April and 72 hours in March for the same reason.
The union threatened that if the government does not improve their offer, junior doctors will strike for a minimum of three days every month over the summer.In a letter to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Wednesday, Phil Banfield, BMA council chair, said it is incredibly disappointing that the doctors have been forced to strike in order to get the government to listen and understand the realities of how desperate things have become on the frontlines of the National Health Service .
“Yet, doctors are increasingly demoralised by growing waiting lists and the falling value of their pay.
