The government has offered junior doctors a 22.3% pay rise to end strike action, Sky News understands.

The British Medical Association's (BMA) junior doctors committee has agreed to put the offer to its members, and if it is accepted it will end months of walkouts over pay.

  • People who actually need pay rises cant afford to go on strike.
  • @tinkerbell9399
    Let’s hope they can do a five day week now, AND arrange cover at the weekends, so we can actually see a doctor!
  • @liam2386
    if my job isnt considered essential enough for a 22 percent pay rise like this then why did i have to work during the pandemic? if my job is so unessential
  • @drewhodge3820
    Nonsense. The unions fund the Labour Party. This was a done deal many months ago.
  • @MrJimiJK
    Disgusting. Now lets see 22% increase in their productivity. No chance.
  • @UWot-jd5tf
    Does that mean they will actually be doing face to face appointments now? all ive seen in the last three years are text messages from nurses lol.
  • @davidweaver421
    Is that so they can pay for their NHS car park tickets?
  • @stevefdarby4057
    We all have the same bills to pay, we could all say our pay has not kept up with inflation,
  • @bigcheesevirus
    And everybody else, on minimum wage, has no chance of holding the country to ransom.
  • @steamhammer2k
    Wow that`s the fastest cave in i have ever seen. The flood gates are wide open for all public service workers to get huge pay rises. That`s going to stuff interest rate cuts for those in the hard working private sector.
  • @Campbellero
    Lucky junior doctors getting 22%! Most of us have had nothing or barely a couple of % annual increase for years and years!
  • @firstlastfool
    Where are they going to find the money to pay the junior doctors? Where have they been finding the money for the year-on-year pay rise for Members of Parliament? When was the last time an MPs pay rise was frozen?
  • @lj6079
    I have yet to see satisfactory service from any medical branch
  • @leo-gg8dt
    Why should it be backdated when theyve not worked & ppls lost there lifes & got much more worse waiting for hospital appointments
  • @gerrylast
