NHS doctors in England will continue with strike action despite Rishi Sunak saying a 6% pay deal was the “final offer”.
The Prime Minister, whose offer of a 6.5% deal for teachers looked set to end that industrial dispute, challenged other unions to “know when to say yes” after he accepted the recommendations of independent pay review bodies.
Junior doctors, who began their longest walkout yet in England on Thursday, will receive 6% rises, along with an additional consolidated £1,250 increase.
TalkTV’s Ian Collins is joined by striking junior doctor Taaha Nadeem and GP Laurence Gerlis to discuss whether doctors should accept the Government’s pay offer.
Laurence: “We have to accept that patients will be harmed by this.”
