Junior doctors offered 22% pay rise by government to end strike action

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.

Let’s hope they can do a five day week now, AND arrange cover at the weekends, so we can actually see a doctor!

[RickySpanish-hz]

People who actually need pay rises cant afford to go on strike.

I have yet to see satisfactory service from any medical branch

[bigcheesevirus]

And everybody else, on minimum wage, has no chance of holding the country to ransom.

[leo-ggdt]

Why should it be backdated when theyve not worked & ppls lost there lifes & got much more worse waiting for hospital appointments

[davidbell]

where's everyone else's pay rise then?? unbelievable utterly unbelievable, watch the queue from now form the unions.

[kevinsyd]

Tax and spend. We're starting to see the spending and soon the taxing will come...

[drewhodge]

Nonsense. The unions fund the Labour Party. This was a done deal many months ago.

[joesheppard]

A 20 billion black hole but lets give a 22% pay rise

[stevefdarby]

We all have the same bills to pay, we could all say our pay has not kept up with inflation,

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

Pensioners have had their winter fuel payments stopped, i hope the junior doctor's remember that when they're faced with an elderly patient suffering from hyperthermia 😢

[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?

[garrypallett]

6 months down the line, they will still be moaning.

[annclough]

Knew Labour would cave in. Know of a retired GP, who retired at 55. bought a detached house before selling his old one. People want to have a look at thier pension plan. They very well off. Cant stand them

[garyspringham]

I bet they won't see 22% more people.

[idkcool]

Wheres my pay rise, my wife just been made redundant, because the firm couldn't afford the national min wage rise, so had to let so many go, where's our help, I haven't had a pay rise in 3yrs, this country is a mess .

Junior Doctors demand huge wage rises yet are more than happy for everyone on minimum wage or just above that they rely on (bin men, shop workers, etc etc.) to pay for it with increased taxes and/or reduced services. They are a disgrace.

[sutty]

Yet carers who work their arse off still earning 11 pound an hour. What a fooking joke!

[senanur]

22% WOW!!!! Never had that in my 15 years career
