The article discusses the ongoing pay disputes within the NHS, particularly highlighting doctors' threats of strike action due to a recent 4% pay rise that, while above inflation, does not compensate for years of historical pay freezes. In contrast, other public sector healthcare workers receive a lesser increase of 3.6%. The British Medical Association argues that this inadequacy stems from historic losses over the last 15 years and calls for better treatment of all public sector workers. Moreover, the importance of quality journalism is emphasized, illustrating the need for accessible reporting, especially during critical societal moments.
Ministers announced doctors would receive a pay rise of 4 per cent - which is above the rate of inflation. However, following the latest review of the public sector pay, other NHS workers will only receive a pay rise of 3.6 per cent.
The British Medical Association (BMA) has said that although the pay rise is above inflation, it still failed to redress historic losses of pay from the past 15 years.
