Junior doctors in England will walk out from 7am on June 27 to 7am on July 2. Follow the rollercoaster election developments in the MailOnline live blog. READ MORE:Tories vented fury at unions for attempting to sabotage the election today after junior doctors announce a six-day walkout.
More than a million appointments and operations have been cancelled because of the never-ending wave of NHS strikes that kicked off in 2022. 'Announcing this during an election and on Labour's health day shows this was only ever political and not about patients or staff.' Average basic pay for a first year doctor increased from £29,384 to £32,397, while a junior doctor who had been a specialty trainee for six years or more saw their pay rise from £58,398 to £63,152.
But the British Medical Association has held further negotiations with officials and ministers in the Department of Health and Social Care since October, resulting an offer of an extra 3 per cent, which has been rejected by union representatives. 'I think the Government should have resolved it and negotiated a settlement. And what they've effectively done is kicked it to the other side of the General Election. That's unforgivable.
But talks have broken down despite both parties confirming last month that they had brought in a mediator to try and 'break the logjam'. 'When we entered mediation with Government this month we did so under the impression that we had a functioning government that would soon be making an offer.They added: 'Even at this late stage Mr Sunak has the opportunity to show that he cares about the NHS and its workers.'If during this campaign he makes such a public commitment that is acceptable to the BMA's junior doctors committee, then no strikes need go ahead.
It comes just days after shadow health secretary Wes Streeting admitted he could not meet striking doctors' 35 per cent pay demand. 'And so I've said the journey to fair pay is exactly that. It's a journey, not an event, we will have to negotiate on pay and beyond pay.' 'They will spend countless hours preparing for the walkout, which includes cancelling and rescheduling appointments.'Resolving the industrial dispute must now be a top priority. Not doing so will come at too high a price for patients and the NHS itself.'
Ministers previously offered junior doctors an 8.8 per cent pay rise, on average, for the 2023/24 financial year.Junior doctors in their first year now have a basic pay of £32,300, while those with three years' experience make £43,900. The most senior earn £63,100. Ministers previously offered junior doctors an 8.8 per cent pay rise, on average, for the 2023/24 financial year
