Comments by "Taffy Terrier" (@taffyterrier) on "NHS strike action: Junior doctors in England begin five-day walkout" video.

Junior doctors are overpaid.

They are incompetent.

@morizwan123 Too much (and pay rises) thanks to the tories

The taxpayers paid for their tuition. Doctors received regular annual pay rises which were accepted at the time. NHS doctors are among the highest paid in Europe but provide one of the worst services in Europe. British taxpayers are getting poor value for money.

Cut their pay - they are overpaid!

The NHS have had the extra £350 million a week and a lot more besides.

@VOOOOOOOO … on inflated salaries.

@VOOOOOOOO Doctors salaries have been increased - not cut.

@VOOOOOOOO No restoration required as they were never cut.

@VOOOOOOOO Doctors received huge annual inflation busting pay rises of between 40% and 100% from New Labour between 2004 and 2008 which dwarf any perceived “real terms pay cuts” between 2008 and 2023. Between 2004 and 2023 doctors pay increased in real terms while practically every other worker’s pay decreased.

@M_P5 It is a 35% pay rise
2
@VOOOOOOOO The correct term is medical graduate trainee doctor.
2
A junior doctor is a medical graduate who is not qualified to practice medicine.
2
@VOOOOOOOO The term ‘junior doctor’ should not apply to FY1s on a £15 basic hourly rate or FY2s.
2
@VOOOOOOOO As they have limited practical experience on the wards and are not qualified to practice independently they should be called “medical graduate trainees”.

@ANH-1977 They have received regular annual pay rises.

@ANH-1977 Their pay has not been cut by 25%.
2
US doctors have to fund the full cost of their education and training and can’t rely on the nanny state like they do in Britain.
2
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%.

@martha7thomson Since Blair junior doctors pay has more than doubled and their working hours have halved from 100 to 48. They have never had it so easy.

@RaRa-eu9mw … I believe it is £55k basic not including unsociable hours premiums for night shifts, weekends and on call payments plus 20.6% of their salaries paid into a gold plated, index linked pension.

They are paid more than enough already.

@VOOOOOOOO The £86 billion of outstanding claims against the NHS for clinical negligence would suggest otherwise.

@premojha979 The alleged 26% “real terms pay cut” is based on the discredited RPI measure of inflation which was abandoned donkeys years ago in favour of the CPI and is no longer recognised by the ONS. When the correct measure is used the alleged “real terms pay cut” is only 16%.

The average basic salary of a junior doctor is £55,000 - not bad.

@arianaalemi-ce6bv They are paid a basic rate of £15 an hour in their first year of training following graduation from medical school and a higher rate for nights and weekends; they also have an extra 20.6% of their salary paid into a gold plated, index linked pension. The hourly rate increases in the second year of training and each year thereafter.

@VOOOOOOOO 1. What is the annual interest payable on a typical medical student loan? 2. Why should doctors be singled out for special treatment on housing costs which affect all workers, particularly those on low incomes?

We train too many doctors.

@brummiedave297 A junior doctor is not qualified to practice. Junior doctors are medical graduate trainee apprentices with limited practical experience learning the trade under strict guidance and supervision.

They should be sacked and replaced.

@Jude-ie5pe Highly educated, properly trained doctors from overseas.
