  15. Will Dr. Robert Gittins be paying back the cost of his taxpayer funded “education” before he abandons the country for a new life in Australia?
    9
  16.  @Gary-le7dz  Before this latest bumper rise NHS doctors were already among the highest paid in Europe but provided one of the worst services in Europe. An MB ChB degree should take no longer than 5 years to complete and a typical medical student should accumulate no more than £50k worth of debt.

  36. Doctors are overpaid.
    7
  37. DON’T CAVE IN BARCLAY !!!

  38. Nothing to discuss. Junior doctors and consultants both received a generous pay rise in accordance with the recommendations of the independent pay review body. DON’T GET BACK ROUND THE TABLE. GET BACK TO F**KING WORK !!!
    6
  39. … yet junior doctors and NHS consultants will probably be striking again soon in spite of their recent 20-22% pay rises and taxpayer subsidised gold plated, index linked pensions.

    5
  54. No - it is a pay rise.
    5
  55. The overpaid doctors are responsible.
    5
  56.  @RaRa-eu9mw  Not forgetting that if the government gave doctors a preferential 35% rise, all the other public sector unions who accepted 6.5% or less could understandably reballot their members for further strike action demanding that their pay should also be raised by an additional 30% to match the increase given to the medical “profession” - the ensuing costs could be astronomical.
    5
  57. They should be forced to pay it back.

  76. The people of Britain deserve the superior healthcare system of fellow European countries who spend their money on state of the art cancer scanning equipment instead of wasting it on excessive pay rises for doctors as they do in the UK.

  96. The junior doctors demand is unprecedented and the government should treat it with the contempt it deserves - and no one has automatic entitlement to inflation proof pay rises.
    4
  97. The government should be apologising for not passing a law making it illegal for doctors to strike after the last junior whingers fiasco in 2016.
    4
  98.  @AndreNiemand  Their average £50,000 per annum salary should be more than enough to cover their living expenses.

    4
  126. 6% of a consultant’s salary is a lot more than 5% of a nurse’s salary. The nurses accepted 5% and went back to work. The consultants continue their strike action in pursuit of an extra £44k per year. Who is being unreasonable?

  132. A junior doctor is an aggrandising misnomer for a medical graduate trainee apprentice with limited practical experience taking his/her first tentative steps to learn the trade under strict supervision and guidance.

    4
  169.  @colephelps7816  NHS doctors are among the highest paid in Europe but provide one of the worst services in Europe. The international market rate for poorly educated, badly trained British doctors is lower than the international market rate for highly educated, properly trained foreign doctors from countries where standards have not been lowered. The vast majority of British medics would not clear the interviews for positions in the USA, Australia, Canada etc. and are just making empty threats.

  183.  @alf494  Someone who is underpaid is paid less than their worth. Doctors are paid more than their worth. Therefore they are overpaid.
    4
  184. Government offered generous 5% pay rise in line with 5% offer to nurses, midwives, paramedics, ambulance drivers but junior doctors refused to accept it.

  201.  @straightlinesteve  Supply and demand? There are plenty of low paid doctors in India who would give their eye teeth to receive the eye watering NHS salaries and gold plated pensions afforded to British medics.

  774. France, Italy and Spain all pay their doctors lower salaries than the UK but provide a superior service. The alleged 26% real terms pay cut” over the past 15 years is based on the discredited RPI measure of inflation which is no longer recognised by the ONS. If the correct CPI is used instead the alleged “real terms pay cut” is around 16%.

    1
  1049.  @RebeccaTurner-ny1xx  Real terms pay cuts only affect the low paid. A first year junior doctor starts on £35-40k so they are not low paid. Therefore if junior doctors receive a pay increase less than the headline rate of inflation they are not necessarily receiving a real terms pay cut. Consider yourself corrected.
    1

  1065.  @mrfill9999  what may or may not have happened over the 13 year period between 2010 and 2022 is finished business. We live in the here and now - not the past and MPs were willing to accept a lower percentage increase this year than that rejected by junior whingers.

  1074.  @ColaScan  Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the US are not interested in hiring poorly educated, badly trained, incompetent, lazy British doctors who rely on the nanny state for their tuition fees.

  1091. @pandorasbox4951 £14 an hour plus time and a half overtime plus night shift allowances plus weekend enhancements means a first year junior doctor in the NHS gets paid between £37,000 and £40,000 which increases annually, not to mention their taxpayer subsidised gold plated pension contributions.

GPs no longer take any responsibility for their patients at evenings and weekends. Far from showing any gratitude the medics have been holding taxpayers to ransom by striking off and on for the past 8 years (doctor strikes were unheard of between 1975 and 2016) and I predict they will be putting patients lives at risk again with further strikes before the year is out.

  2157.  @siddhanthravichandran3245  The average consultant salary in England last year was £121,226 and in Ireland it was £137,182 - nowhere near twice as much. Junior doctors are asking for a 35% pay rise - pay restoration does not apply as they have not suffered any real terms pay cuts. The average basic junior doctor salary is £55,000 which is a lot more than the minimum wage. The number of doctors leaving the NHS to work abroad is the same as it was 10 years ago - less than 5%. Every place at whatever passes for “medical school” these days is oversubscribed by at least 7 to 1 so there is no shortage of recruits eager to receive the world class salaries the NHS offer. Australia can pick and choose and will select highly educated, properly trained, competent doctors which excludes the vast majority of dumbed down British medics. British taxpayers who bankroll 80% of doctors tuition fees and 100% of their hospital training deserve a return on their investment and doctors should be contracted to work in the NHS for at least 10 years after graduation.

  2382.  @christopherblackburn6811  The Blair government gave doctors pay rises way above inflation in 2004 - if the BMA went back five years from 2008 and worked out how much doctors pay has changed taking inflation into account any losses incurred between 2008 and 2023 would be cancelled out by the extravagant unrealistic rises they received between 2003 and 2008.

If they went back 20 years instead of 15 it will clearly show they received real terms pay increases over that period. The gullible British public are so easily gaslit but the BMA Mafia don’t fool me.
